Using GPL (any version) for music raises issues over source code. If I give a copy of the recording to someone else, I'm obligated to supply source, or give them an offer of source. But what is source for music? The score? Copies of the separate tracks from before mixing? The FSF says the GPL is for code. That's why they don't use GPL on, say, documentation. You should consider using a license such as one of the Creative Commons licenses, that works reasonably with music. -- --Tim Smith _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
