If h.264 is ok for iPhone why is it not ok for Linux? Do iPhone owners pay more for their TV Licence than Linux users?

It seems to me from the statements from the BBC that they intend to close this "hole" (and did already once by adding sessions to the page which thwarted the original method of using wget to grab the file). So what they are actually saying is they are now going to actively try and block Linux users from accessing the iPlayer service by closing the hole they created with the iPhone page? If no DRM is ok for iPhone users, why is no DRM no ok for Linux users?

Also, I know I am not the only person thinking this, but I do seem to remember the BBC saying they haven't catered for Linux yet because they are a minority market. I suspect there are a lot more Linux users out there than there are bloody iPhone users, so why the Apple Love?
