I didn't know that British English had two spellings; I guess that could be true for others. Or maybe (like for most of us) his default spelling checker is US English. If he isn't in the UK, he shouldn't be downloading BBC programmes (or programs) anyway.

I read the original post: "Beeb is asking if I have a license now, sigh".

My first thought was that this prevented GiP, and hence my script,
from working, so I checked it out (on Linux) and didn't find a problem.

I thus deduced that the concern was probably from someone who didn't
have a license.  Of course, I don't know this to be true and apologise
if my assumption was incorrect.

The fact that the original poster used the American English spelling
"license", rather than the British English "licence", suggests to me
that he is not resident in the UK, and therefore does not actually
require a licence.

(In British English, "license" is a verb; "license" a noun. American
English uses "license" for both.)

Regards,

Chris
