BBC Creative Archive Based On Creative Commons

Posted by timothy on from the way-to-go dept.

powcom writes "The BBC appears to be delivering on its promise of releasing its material to the public - they're modelling their licensing on Creative Commons. Lawrence Lessig is very excited and so I imagine, will a lot of other people be - rightly." This brief article also mentions yesterday's release of Creative Commons' 2.0 licenses -- well worth reading about.

    Everybody knows the answer, but nobody knows the question.

    Let me take a guess; try this one for size:

    "How many presidents did the US have until it turned into a dictatorship"?

    No tinfoil, it's right here on CNN!

    Ashcroft said that after the March 11 train bombings in Madrid, Spain, "an al Qaeda spokesman announced 90 percent of the arrangements for an attack on the United States were complete."

    That's an euphemism for "we can't let happen to the US presidential elections what happened to the Spanish, so we better cancel it".

    Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, however, said Wednesday that he did not plan to raise the color-coded terror alert level for the nation.

    Not just yet! It's still too early. But rest assured that by mid-October, it will be a very dark shade of red (no, Godwyn, I did not say "brown")

      Wrong. And no, I'm not a republican who mistakes a usurping dictator for an elected president. I just happen to know about Cleveland Grover. So although Clinton was the 42nd president, there are only 41 presidents (because #22 and #24 were identical).
