Maybe old news, but I've just noticed this:

I knew the beeb were dropping support for open source, but didn't 
realise it would directly affect get_iplayer.
So that's just bonkers. I'll very probably have to resort to some sort 
of p2p technology to get programs now - which will have more of an 
impact on the system (ie. the BBC being a bunch of control freaks) 
that get_iplayer ever had. And if I have to resort to those measures 
why should I bother paying my license fee!

I've always assumed get_iplayer was open source but I cant find the source - but that could be me.
Be a tragedy to loose this - though I havent used it for ages.
