Much of the material on WIMA is not explicitly licensed.
Suppose I borrow some TeX code off there and use it in something
I distribute on a site that demands everything must be licensed.
Can I assume that code submitted to WIMA is automatically GPL
unless explicitly stated otherwise?
As part of WIMA's merge with IMSLP all WIMA contributors were contacted
regarding IMSLP licensing of their contributions. They were asked to
contact me if they did not consent to having their contributions
published in IMSLP under the conditions of the 'Creative Commons
Attribution Non-commercial Share Alike' license. I got negative answers
from very few contributors, positive feedback from quite a few. As
expected the majority of contributors consented silently.
This enquiry was essential to the IMSLP in order to leave no ambiguity
as to the licensing of the WIMA sub collection. So regarding further use
of WIMA score engraving files the conditions should be clear.
These words do not, however, answer the question of musixtex software
licensing.
