One problem is their funding can be interpreted as meaning the content
should only be made available to the public _in the UK_. Which led to
the strange "UK only licence" at
http://www.bbc.co.uk/creativearchive/licence/index.shtml
http://www.bbc.co.uk/virtualrevolution/licences/digitalrevolution_licence.shtml
is a second example of them making up their own license.
They have also released some things under a real Creative Commons
license, but as far as I know, only ever one of the "non-commercial"
ones. eg http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/13946
