Today the BBC, UK Channel 4, BFI, and Open University launched the Creative Archive Licence Group, which aims to create awareness about the CA license. Using it, organizations like the BBC can make content available for reuse by anyone who wants to do so. As they say:
The Creative Archive is significant because for the first time it will be possible for the public to freely access and 'own' a copy of a big slice of British culture that they can use as part of their own cultural creations.
I don't see any other major content producers doing this. It's only possible due to how British TV has developed over the last 50-odd years, which has its own roots in British radio.
The archive will be limited to access from the UK right now. (British TV License payers did, after all, fund the content in the first place!) But I can see this initiative spreading. More content producers need to adapt or die, and the Creative License is a very innovative way for British content producers to adapt elegantly.
