The search term 'licence' gets no hits anywhere in the long help output 
of the v3.30 script.

Further, if you search the script for 'nowarntvlicence', you find only 
two hits in the following section beginning at line 3,722 (email 
linewrap not in original):

	if ( $prog->{type} eq "tv" && ! $opt->{nowarntvlicence} ) {
		$opt->{nowarntvlicence} = 1;
		main::logger "WARNING: A UK TV licence is required to access BBC 
iPlayer TV content legally\n";
	}

What this seems to indicate is that the script author was allowing for 
some mechanism to exist for not displaying the message, but didn't 
actually get so far as implementing it fully, otherwise the string would 
also appear earlier in the script where the command-line parameters and 
preferences files are read.

Thus I guess you'd have to add the missing coding yourself to implement it.
