Re: [microsound] open audio license

[Sal Randolph <sal@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The EFF Open Audio License is a great idea, but some of the people who 
worked on it have now gone on to Creative Commons to make some licenses 
which are a bit easier to deploy.  Their Attribution-ShareAlike license 
is the one which is closest in sprit to the GPL.

http://www.creativecommons.org

They have some great education/information resources on their site as 
well.

and just fyi, there are about 100 artists (with a preponderance of 
experimental electronic musicians) now releasing music under the CC 
Attribution-ShareAlike license in the Opsound Open Pool.

http://www.opsound.org

And if you're interested in copylefting your music and releasing it 
under any of the Creative Commons licenses, the Internet Archive will 
host your audio files for free on their site (they have huge resources) 
as part of their Open Source Audio Collection:
