BBC eases feed use

BBC eases rules on news feed use

The BBC has opened up its content more so that people can use news stories and headlines on their own sites via RSS.

Revised licence terms mean other sites can integrate RSS feeds from the BBC without offline contract negotiations, as was previously the case.

From the BBC site. Go, Beeb!

I did enjoy, however, the caption under the photo illustrating the story. The photo shows a woman with her laptop in a cafe. The caption: "People like to get information when they want and wherever they are." It might as well have read, "People enjoy warm beverages" or "Pretty women are often shown in photos."

Stock photos - the BBC is at least getting people to send in replacements for particularly bad ones.
