There's a definitely non-Flash post with more information here http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/2008/02/p2p_next.html I'm looking after the BBC's involvement with P2P-Next (*not* the homepage) and we are planning on 1) Free Software licence for all code produced, with source available. 2) Free Software clients and liasion with distributors to attempt to get these into ports/ repos 3) Feeding into the various communities, so that, for example, work done on this can benefit other Free projects and much more. > Then the overarching P2P research project could > be examined to see whether it will release the final technology under > Free Software terms. Yes. LGPL for definite, maybe bi- or tri-licenced with other OSI/FSF approved licences. I will raise the question about whether Tribler itself is entirely Free. Any code that isn't won't be making its way into P2P-Next.
