Re: [Trisquel-users] Something I don't get about jamendo.com licenses

The CC-BY is the most permissive of Creative Common license series (And it's  
version 3.0 in this case). It's the first time that I open this web site, and  
I didn't make an exhaustive or conclusive research, but at a glance, it seems  
the site just puts the option to get a “commercial” license  
automatically, without taking into account that in this case, the license  
doesn't limits commercial usage of the work. Maybe when designing the web  
site, the developers assumed that all licenses would limit commercial usage  
and that the Copyright holder will always be interested in licensing  
commercial usage; clearly that is not the case. If they also do this for  
Copyleft licenses, then they would be spreading the mistake of confusing the  
freedom of works with whether they allow commercial usage, which is a common  
misconception; the GNU project has an essay on this.
