Lawrence Lessig, professor of law at Stanford University and cultural commentator thinks that the BBC have got it right with their proposal of making their freely archive available to the public for non-commercial uses.
By making the content available, commercial entities will also be able to identify BBC material and then license it for a fee.
Lessig describes this as a brilliant response to the extra ordinary explosion of creative capacity enabled by digital technologies.

These lectures describe the possiblities of the bbc creative archive and creative commons
