BBC’s adopted a Creative Commons license for its Creative Archives project for archiving digital conent online…is that good and fair to the commercial internet sector in UK? “The BBC legitimised radio as a useful, interesting and valuable medium; it did the same for television. By becoming a strong voice on the Internet, it has helped the UK become much more at ease in the online world. It delivers readers, not abducts them.”
“With the adoption of a Creative Commons-style licence, the Corporation will extend its public service remit far beyond the distribution channels under its direct control, while still protecting its content and without poisoning the commercial environment that drives so much innovation and creativity elsewhere.”
