Ahoy,

For what it's worth, I'd add that every BBC person I've asked says that the 
beeb is getting more and more enthusiastic about the Creative Archive, 
backstage and its open source approach to R&D. I've not spoken to any 
"creative rights holders", only techies and managers of techies, so it's 
always possible that a lot of rights holders will refuse to give their 
content to the archive.

We'll see :)
