Hi Leonard,
First of all let me say I respect and admire what you're trying to
accomplish and wish you all the best.
That said, I think much of the flame started because of
misunderstanding. From what I can see you are seeking for
sponsorship/donations to produce your CC open-source-based music. IMHO
there's nothing bad with that: I'm happy that people like Monteverdi,
Purcell, Vivaldi (to name a few) were sponsored in the past.
I think some people misunderstood that, as you write
we believe that financial interests interfere with
quality, truth and
honesty in art, and we wish to set an example.
which can be a point, but then you *do* need €1485/month for rent, food,
insurances... etc. again nothing wrong with that at all.
I guess many on this list would like to quit their every-day jobs and
only do music.. but there's that rent food etc. waiting :).. and I know
people for whom that can be an artistic and "honest" stimulus to make
art/music as much as wealthy pop-stars (remember also blues and
work-songs started partly with exploited people who had nothing but
their music...)
All the best and kind regards,
Lorenzo.

* ever noticed an asterisk in an offering where you couldn't find the
associated fine print, leaving you with a slight uneasy feeling? this
is such an asterisk.
** don't start an argument with me! of course you pity them for their
smug "i'm just thinking practical" attitude and their moral
inferiority. No? Well, I do. This will show them!
