I agree with this sentiment wholeheartedly but I personally would hate to miss 
out on a contributon just because someone was uncomfortable with the licence 
requirements.

[...]They can elect to use a GPU 

woops I mean GPL not GPU sorry or the confusion.


style agreement or one of 
the creative commons sample licences. The only rule could then needed is just 
that all contributed files are agreed by their uploading, to meet the barest 
minumum ie that the List is free to copy and store, backup and cache via its 
TWiki server and free to communicate the recording and composition to the 
public throughout the world for unlimited streaming and download and that 
members of the List can have free unlimited stream, download, and burn for 
personal use. Much less work for whoever is running the thing. Less rules 
less flame wars maybe? Those files that are not made GPU will miss out on 
being, re-mixed, re-versioned, shared by the whole universe...their loss. 

I would not suggest the GPL licence as this is really drafted for software. 
The Creative Commons has great samples of copyleft agreements that emabrace 
the GPL/GNU ethos.
