Rejected petition Release all recipes within the BBC database under a Creative Commons licence
The BBC states that recipes will be mothballed or only available for 30 days. Instead of losing this valuable resource, funded by everyone of us, release the imagery and recipes under a Creative Commons licence thus ensuring that, at no further cost to the BBC, they can continue to be enjoyed.

This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
This decision is the responsibility of the BBC. The BBC is an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of government and there is no provision for the government to intervene in the BBC’s day-to-day operations.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
