Peter Schubel (I really have no idea how to get an umlaut out of this PC keyboard!), I must quickly acknowledge that you are quite right to mention Creative Commons but then qualify that by saying a) CC is actually still a geek innovation, although it is of course applicable anywhere and b) CC has essentiially ZERO traction outside of the tech community and a few isolated public service entities (like the BBC with /music) and is thus barely comparable with open source in the code community which is now an accepted, mainstream practice...

“I also wondered if the BBC had such a thing as a ‘Rights Lab’, analogous to the various experimental and R&D groups … That would be interesting wouldn’t it?”

It would. Is there one?

You’ve not actually mentioned anything Diane said to you. You’ve only told us what you asked (or wondered)…
