I am not so sure that jamendo covers of popular tunes are free to use, since songwriter royalties are required to be paid in the US. I doubt that Bob Dylan has granted royalty-free use of "I Shall Be Released," for example.
In general, it works better if freely-licensed original compositions are used, not merely arrangements or covers of existing compositions. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: RGB ES [mailto:rgb.m...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2013 09:33 To: dev@openoffice.apache.org Subject: Re: [PROPOSAL] New Apache OpenOffice 4 logo proposals... 2013/1/2 Samer Mansour <samer...@gmail.com> [ ... ] > We should avoid using a song currently in rotation by another commercial if > possible, just because people might make branding associations or > assumptions. > If music rights is an issue, there is a lot of creative commons music on > newgrounds.com audio portal. > Jamendo is another possibility http://www.jamendo.com/ but I cannot point to a particular author, my musical tastes are rather particular... :) Regards Ricardo [ ... ]
