Actually I am more concerned he'll piss off the BBC and have them thinking that iLiad developers are pirates.
Take for example 2.4:
Where possible you must create a functional link back to the BBC News story(ies) summarised by the BBC Content . If you are displaying the BBC Feed where a functional link back to the BBC is not possible, you must display on-screen the URL from which the BBC Content can be obtained (scroll down to the accreditation section below.) You may not directly or indirectly change, edit, add to or produce summaries of the BBC Content or any content on the BBC website nor place any full-story BBC content in an HTML frame-set.
He's in full compliance, yep. Hmm maybe this is why RSS2PDF doesn't copy the story eh what?
Section 3.1:
(iii) users of the Site shall be required to comply with terms that are equivalent to the Standard Licence Terms in relation to their use of BBC Content.
I notice his site requires its users to.. uh, where was that on his site??? But he's fully compliant.
Section 4.1:
4.1 You hereby agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the BBC in respect of all damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and litigation expenses, arising out of or as a result of any breach of the Standard Licence Terms or otherwise in connection with your use of the BBC Feed (including the BBC Content).
I wonder if "If you brick your iLiad talk to iRex" would be considered indemnifying the BBC from liability if someone's iLiad bricked itself eating the BBC's HTML as modified by his scripts? I'd think the BBC would want at least a click through page (a so called "overt act") agreeing to terms and to hold the BBC harmless from bricking liability...
After all, who's pockets are deeper?
A) Jaed's
B) iRex's
C) BBC's
I can just see the terribly restrained concern on the BBC lawyer's face when he/she read's that "bricking" clause.
