I wrote to Mark Allan, the author of chromium. He says, that to the best of his knowledge, all of the sound files are either public domain, or under a "royalty free" license. He says the music loops are definitely covered under a royalty-free license. The royalty-free license is restrictive, though. I think all of the music is from http://www.partnersinrhyme.com/.
As I understand the partner's in rhyme license, they don't intend for anyone downloading chromium to take the sounds and use them in any way other than to play chromium. I think Mark paid for one of their CDs, and used it in his free product (chromium), royalty free. I bet if you asked partner's in rhyme directly, they would say, "No, if you want to use our music in your project, you have to pay us a one-time fee." Here is a link to their license, and remember, this was licensed to Mark, not us: http://www.partnersinrhyme.com/wmcstore/faq/License.html He got the sound effects from findsounds.com. Which is like saying he got them from google. findsounds is a sound search engine. It is likely that all of the sound effects are copyrighted and not distributable. However, Mark made the images himself, and offered them, with chromium, under the Artistic License. Those can still be used in main. So, in summary, the images are free (Artistic License). The music is non-free (can not be re-used outside chromium). And the sounds are probably all non-distributable. -Brandon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
