Hem, I just have some difficulties to understand why we can not simply
put the typesetted music on Mutopia, as released in the public domain
(when the music is already in the public domain) ?
The main goal being just to put online public domain music; no matter what
people could do with it (apart from helping to do this), if it is public
domain.
Is it really important (and aiming the goal) that the typesetter put his
name on
the work itself, for example ?
Instead, we could just set up an official list of contributors to the
building of
the archive ?
I tried to find out why in the previous messages, but I could not find it...
sorry if I come back about something already discussed here.
Romain.
