Following the example of internet titans Google and Amazon, the BBC has
released software tools which allow programmers to borrow and "remix"
its web content for free.
Tools have been made available through a project called BBC Backstage,
which was launched at Open Tech 2005, a technology conference held in
London, UK, on Saturday 23 July.
BBC Backstage provides a way for programmers to integrate BBC content
into their web applications - the only caveat being that it must not be
used commercially. Information is made available through "application
programming interfaces" (API)
