I think that this is an issue which should be brought to light. I've
been tracking their coverage of linux devices, and basically, it never
gets a mention. We should be questioning the BBC's editorial policy.
It's not that the beeb won't mention open-source, they do, just search
for "BBC Firefox" in google and you get shedloads of hits, the problem
seems to come when we are looking at Linux.
