why?

if BC included discs how could playing the game the customer purchased cause a license issue.

more likely, if BC was only for digital download then the the only supported software is the software that publishers choose to publish to psn.  the entire backlog won't be there (like on xbox) but a decent amount of publishers would probably be on board with more money,.. especially if it is sony doing the compatibility testing which is what I think MS did.
It's dependent on how contracts are set up for emulation. A company might be against bc for their games since it's far beyond the scope of the original license deal. I'd imagine the vast majority of pubs would be ok with it but it's still something Sony has to sort out.

Otherwise someone like me could just find an open source emulator and port it as an app.
