Classic David Attenborough available online

The BBC has a new site collecting some of the best moments from its nature documentaries, showcasing some of the world's most amazing animals.

The Wildlife Finder includes a collection of clips picked out by the Tree of Life's very own Sir David Attenborough. Sir David and the gorillas, Sir David and the tortoise, Sir David and the frogs. It's enough to make one swoon....

Licensing and creative commons

How would you like your tree?

We're already having some questions on the blog about licensing for the graphic and associated assets. In short it's all available under some form of creative commons license, in one of two flavours:

The content currently up is all available under the license Attribution-Non-Commercial-No Derivative Works 2.0 UK: England & Wales (BY-NC-ND) which basically means you can use it but you can't make money off it and you can't mess with it (oh and please reference the site). If you're a teacher, work in a museum or are just an ordinary bod you can show it where you please.

Almost all of the ingredients will soon be available under (BY-NC-SA) which will allow remixes and so on. By ingredients we mean the animation *without* the voiceover and music and presenter. Also all of the images and animations that make it up and even the code that we used to generate it. You'll also be able to make and share your own trees. More on all of this later.
