I have been discussing the design of a drum
sample
library for Hydrogen with Comix (Hydrogen
author),
Bill Bailey (my studio partner and a drummer)
and
Bobby Josland (drummer). I don't think any of us
has
experience with designing a high quality sample
library. We've got some questions and hope to get
feedback in the form of "this is my experience"
and "I
don't know but imagine...."
What licensing scheme are you looking at?
We'd like to follow in the traditions of Bill Gates
and Steve Jobs. Ah, really, really just kidding. :)
Comix has asked for an appropriately licensed sample
library for Hydrogen. He and I have discussed both our
interests. Neither of us wants to restrict anyone's
right to produce and freely distribute derivitive
products in the form of songs or audio tracks of
whatever type.
However, I don't have any motivation to allow for
profit enterpizes to include the library with their
for sale products. Well, not without written
permission which very well might have to be purchased.
I also can't see any reason to allow anyone to modify
and redistribute the library without written
permission.
I have no reasons to restrict any other Open Source
License project from including the unmodified library
for distribution with their product.
Please do hammer on these concerns. We definitely want
to get the licensing right.
Ultimately, my motivation is just an act of gratitude
to this community.
Is the
idea for this
to become the new default acoustic set for H2,
It's intended to be the new default set for H2.
ron
or
something to be
purchased? Freely modifiable and redistributable or
not?
Looking forward to it....
