What a weird license... it's not a free one though.

I don't think this license makes sense at all for a sound effect library. > 4.a Not removing content from your device or systems when we ask you to. Use sound effect in a short film, BBC take down the sound effect library, your film is now illegal. > 4.b Don't use our content for (…) promoting (…) tobacco (…) anything that would harm the BBC reputation (…) social campaigning purposes or fundraising. Also no ads next to or over the content. Also, from paragraph 4.h you are not allowed to share the content.

  Real scenario: a friend was asking me a few weeks back if I had any audio clips for the theatrical show in his kid's school. Not much, just a clock ticking, a car honk. The show was of course free (parents were acting for their kids to enjoy). All non-profit. That library would be helpful (and will be helpful next year when they'll have to perform again). And oh how I miss GetRight. I remember it was able to jump-around and download from linked web-pages. While IDM doesn't seem to be able to crawl like this (or at least I haven't found a way). Edit: snap if you got an Android/iOS app and want to add some sounds (e.g. "Lion roaring (inside cage)") then you fall under '8. a) for commercial purposes – to make a profit' you need permission, which sensibly one can obtain without jumping through too many hoops.

    freesound.org would be safer for the school show I think

      Another vote for freesound. FS' licensing is also much more reasonable

It appears this is part of a larger collection intended for educational use: “The RES initiative was launched to make lessons, lectures and learning more interesting, varied, colourful and informative, to enrich teaching across different levels and subjects and to support research at all levels. RES offers a free, openly licensed index of cultural assets from some of the world's leading cultural institutions. Images, TV and radio programmes, podcasts, documents, text, pre-formatted teaching materials, and more are all being indexed by RES. The information about rights is included with the assets.” https://bbcarchdev.github.io/res/ https://bbcarchdev.github.io/res/
