I think your concern could be quite valid, and thinking about it is
beneficial.
Does anybody have a favourite Free Music License?
Right now I'm leaning
towards the EFF's OAL, but I really don't like their idea that you should
use (O) instead of (c).
Well, I think it depends. First, the music I've released was put out
under the Open Content License, without either option exercised. The
reason behind this, is that the Open Content License, without either
option exercised, is GPL compatable. So this makes it pretty easy to
understand the ramifications, and easy to gauge how "interoperable" your
license is.
However, depending on your music, it may be appropriate to use the GPL.
The GPL can be applied in any case that has some kind of "source code".
If your music is computer-generated, your MIDI/MOD/whatever files could
clearly count as the source. OTOH, if your music is a digital
recording of an actual instrument, the definition doesn't apply)
