I'm not personally looking for metadata, but it would be great if some of the
open-source players were permitted back into the fold, meaning that VLC and the
like could play BBC content... Especially for cpu architectures that Adobe
don't support.
Oh, and be able to distribute said player

anything on that same wiki.

Agreed.
So do you think it'll just be a case of 'watch this space' re licences in the
