Excellent use of creative commons. How about Ogg?

Basing the license on the Creative Commons license is an excellent idea. Gives alot of return on investment for everyone who has contributed monetarily to the BBC.


To make maximal use of the material, this might be an exemplary situation in which to use Ogg. Use <A HREF="http://www.vorbis.com/faq.psp" title="vorbis.com">Ogg Vorbis</a vorbis.com> for audio and <A HREF="http://www.theora.org/theorafaq.html" title="theora.org">Ogg Theora</a theora.org> for video. That would prevent getting locked in by any particular vendor or platform.
