Re: [linux-audio-dev] License for sounds

--- David Olofson <david(a)olofson.net> wrote: Actually, I think the solution is rather simple. Basically, a patch for a synth can be thought of as a "sound" in the sonic sense and a "patch" in the software sense. The "sound" is public domain because of the absurdities already discussed. Any sound made by synths, closed or open source are almost always public domain. However, the patch may be licensed as you wish. The way I see it, either A) There doesn't need to be a special license. You can put the patch under any license and it will allow the user to use the sound as they wish, but puts restrictions/conditions if he/she wishes to redistribute the sound. or B) A special license must be drafted to allow this. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
