Being a musician, this discussion raises an interesting question. Does 
the exact same rules apply for music as for software? If music is GPL'd, 
can someone request that the "source" (whatever that may be) is made 
available so that they may change it and release it? I.e. could someone 
contact me and ask me for the raw wave files or even the cubase project 
files, so that s/he may edit them and use them elsewhere? That's a 
thought I'm not wholly comfortable with.
