Yes. <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Reusing_content_outside_Wikimedia> <quote> CC-BY-SA In the Creative Commons Attribution and ShareAlike license (CC-BY-SA), re-users are free to make derivative works and copy, distribute, display, and perform the work, even commercially. When re-using the work or distributing it, you must attribute the work to the author(s) and you must mention the license terms or a link to them. You must make your version available under CC-BY-SA. </quote> I don't think that it is a big deal in this case (if this is an isolated case), but if someone feels strongly about it they could point the BBC to the above-mentioned wikimedia page. They really ought to have a policy about reusing content from Wikimedia/Wikipedia, but I suspect they don't.
