If there will be more songs I recommend to make something database like, so you can write down in a file how often a song was played and then maybe play it more often. > > Feel free to add more tracks and more endings ;-) Please don't expect too much new stuff in the near future.

IMO it has nothing to do with CC because even if it was a professional photographer and he would have the right to use that picture he couldn't sell it for a marketing campaign. To me that is a issue between the marketing company and the parents. > > Regards, > nash > > about that other email: I also think that there is a problem if people could change your license just like that, but I don't think that anything bad will happen in that case and I don't really have much choice if I want to use CC. btw: do you accept licenses that are not approved by lawyers? ;) I have a very good one... so have a nice day, remaxim > _______________________________________________ > tp-devel mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.thousandparsec.net/tp/mailman.php/listinfo/tp-devel > _______________________________________________ tp-devel mailing list [email protected] http://www.thousandparsec.net/tp/mailman.php/listinfo/tp-devel
