I suspected as much -- the problem of 3d parties owning rights to the material is a major obstacle for institutions dealing with cultural heritage material to release under CC and similar licences. As to your second reason, I hadn't really thought about identifying programmes that started before December of 2002 in the survey, and will take that into account. I'll definitely be in touch. Hi Graeme,

I’ll definitely be in touch.

Our choice against Creative Commons was for two reasons: firstly, the majority of our content is sourced from the BBC, and more restrictive licensing is necessary to protect their content (the BBC hold only very limited rights to the content they broadcast). Secondly, the ground-work and negotiations for our project pre-dated the first CC licenses. Please feel free to contact myself for more information and I'll do my best to put you in touch with those in the know. Hi Jordan,
