say if it's GPL or LGPL it's free - along with other acceptable licenses
such as Apache and BSD or whatever that wouldn't likely apply to the
audio software we're talking about. If it's not, it's not.
I mean, Rosea, the point is clearer than the means of circumventing or
obfuscating it: The original collaboration was based upon having
everything be Free - the OS, the apps, the libraries, samples, and not
least the work itself. We wanted to do that for philosophical reasons
and for reasons of advocacy, and as Kevin suggests, to simply
demonstrate that it could be done.
We produced some pretty good music, IMHO, and enjoyed each other's
company, and had some real fun along the way. If that isn't proof of
concept I don't know what else would be.

Well, I may have misstated the actual
"working rules." The original
gathering in 2008 committed to Linux, so Open Source as a requirement
may not be in effect this time around.
From our front page:
"The purpose of our band is to free music. We want to be able to play what we
want, using Free Software tools, and allow others to take that music and do
with it what they want. Feel free to check out our Current events and see
what we are up to right now. "
I think it was Free music with Free tools from the break.
