BBC Opens Up - Or Does it?

The BBC's iPlayer site has been a target of open source community ire since it started. Originally delivering content via Microsoft DRM-protected technologies, it was condemned by the FSF (among others) for dictating unfree technology choices on viewers. The technology behind the iPlayer has changed somewhat since then, but by and large it's been a proprietary stack that doesn't play well with free software.
