The BBC is allowing Internet users to download and edit news clips featuring some of the biggest events of the last 50 years.

The 80 bulletins cover events such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, crowds ejecting soldiers from Beijing's Tiananmen Square and behind-the-scenes footage of the England team before its World Cup victory in 1966.

The clips have been made freely available under the terms of the "Creative Archive Licence."

The license allows people within the United Kingdom to watch, download and edit the clips and programming for noncommercial purposes.

People interested in "being creative" with BBC material will be free to download and mix that footage, and to "use it as the fuel for their own creative endeavors," the British media company said.
