I've now finished an updated set of pages for the Mutopia site which
reflect the addition of a "MutopiaBSD" license, a BSD style license
suitable for people submitting music to Mutopia that they've either
edited, arranged or composed themselves. Before putting the license
into general use, however, I have uploaded these pages to temporary
locations in case anyone wants to make suggestions for improvements.
The legal page has had the most updates:
http://sca.uwaterloo.ca/Mutopia/legal-new.html
There are also minor updates, mainly about the new taglines, to the
guidelines for people submitting music to Mutopia:
http://sca.uwaterloo.ca/Mutopia/contribute-new.html
These pages will replace the current legal and contribution guidelines
pages when any problems with them have been resolved.
The license as it currently stands is as follows:
Permission is hereby granted, without written agreement and without
license or royalty fees, to use, copy, modify, distribute, perform and
record this music and to distribute, perform and record modified
versions of this music for any purpose, provided that the above
copyright notice, this paragraph and the following disclaimer appear
with all copies of this music, whatever the format of the copy,
printed, audio or otherwise.
THIS MUSIC IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
It is available in Postscript and PDF formats from the new legal page
of the website.
The new tagline to go at the bottom of music placed under this license
is as follows:
This music is part of the Mutopia project, http://sca.uwaterloo.ca/
Mutopia/
It has been typeset and released under the MutopiaBSD license by
[Maintainer]
You should have received a copy of the license with this music. If not,
it is available for download at the above website.
It was suggested that http://www.lilypond.org/mutopia/ (or similar)
might stand a better chance of being around in the future if we move
off the current server. Han-Wen - if you can set this link up then I'll
change all references (in taglines, etc.) that refer to the current URL
to the new one and make this the new "official" Mutopia URL. (I'm not
recompiling all the music that's already on the site, though :-)
