Actually it does, the recipes are copyright of the BBC. If you wanted to run a website supported by adverts to help fund your experimentation with new ideas. The BBC currently has a large market share and you're not likely to bother investing time and money into a project because of the body of works the BBC has.
> The NHS effectively gives away healthcare 'for free'
Health services are a basic human need that every human on the planet requires. I strongly believe in the public healthcare over private healthcare. I also love the BBC, however we do have to define boundaries so we don't stifle innovation.
The best resolution would be that the BBC recipes, and all future ones, fall into Creative Commons or even public domain after 30 days.
