I requested (on behalf of my company) that I be permitted to use quotes/audio snippets and even provide a full copy for long-term availability. I also requested if they could release this programme under a CC license. Of course, if more than one interested party makes the request, it might hold more weight... It will be interesting to get their response. Done.

I recall a previous "In Business" from probably a year or more ago where there were some great quotes. I emailed the producer (via the Beeb's website) and asked for permission to quote and use snippets in our own materials. Although I never actually got round to doing so, there were positive in their response and said fine go ahead. Seeing as there was a fair discussion on CC I would assume they would rather shoot themselves in the foot if they wouldn't allow the podcast to be propogated/quoted etc. In fact I will ask. It is a great introduction to FOSS for the non-technical minded. Al Yeah, thanks for the post – I enjoyed listening to it last night.

Made me wish I could post it to the Planet, but guessed someone would do so fairly quickly. Good on you for getting there first. Fairly good feature, and an all too rare covering of our world on Auntie. Maybe someone will rip it to share with the non-UK?? Heard it too!
