Re: [linux-audio-user] The Open Music Resource Library - Licensing

Best to ask the people who contribute the loops. If they intend to dual-licence their loops, making them available to OMRL without restrictions on commercial reuse could undermine this. There are licences that restrict or ban selling - the Aladin Ghostscript licence, for example. While they don't describe it as an open source licence, it's an alternative view of a similar problem. It's up to the person who writes the licence, after all. "This License attempts to ensure that those who receive, redistribute, and contribute to the licensed Program according to the Open Source and Free Software philosophies have the right to do so, while retaining for the developer(s) of the Program the power to make those who use the Program to enhance the value of commercial products pay for the privilege of doing so.
