I am still not convinced.   All it says about Linux is

The BBC Trust has committed to making sure the BBC would meet calls for 
non-Windows versions of the iPlayer "as soon as possible" said the 
government statement.

It added: "[The BBC Trust] will measure the BBC's progress on this every 
six months and publish the findings."

So every six months we will be told whether it yet works on Linux.

Nothing on when it will work on Linux.
