Err.
They are not 'reverse engineer, de-compile, disassemble, alter, modify, or
create derivative works from"....
AFAICS They are modifying Wine to correctly respond to the API calls that the
iPlayer makes.
Hmm... wonder what this does to the DRM

12. You agree:
# to not attempt to, or assist any other person to *reverse engineer*,
*de-compile*, *disassemble*, *alter*, duplicate, *modify*, rent, lease,
loan, sub-licence, make copies, *create derivative works from*,
distribute or provide others with the BBC iPlayer Library in whole or
part, except as expressly permitted in these Terms and to the extent
permitted by law;
I think Google call this "the usual yar di dar"...

Exactly where in the T & Cs does it say thou shalt not port iPlayer
to another platform?
(If someone point's out a clause in the EULA, I shall point and laugh).
Personally I'd think that Auntie would be glad for the help, the
Beeb is comitted to making iPlayer platform neutral, right?

"BBC iPlayer on Linux project Wiki
This is a project to bring the BBC iPlayer to the GNU/Linux
and *BSD/Mac
OSX Operating Systems. The BBC has been heavily criticised
for not
providing iPlayer on Mac OSX or Linux.
This is something that the iPlayer on Linux project hopes to
fix.
Although initially this project aims to put the iPlayer on
Linux,
porting (via wine) to BSD/Mac OSX is a very simple task. "
