"We intend to allow parts of our programmes, where we own the rights, to be available to anyone in the UK to download so long as they don't use them for commercial purposes. Under a simple licensing system, we will allow users to adapt BBC content for their own use. We are calling this the BBC Creative Archive."

As Matt points out, there's some great analysis at Oblamovka and Hanging Day. There's some doubt too, and it's certainly non-trivial, but Cory knows a bit more as he, like Lessig, came to talk to us recently and we talked him through some problems and opportunities. Watch that space.
