That can (and hopefully will) be used by any musicians, such as<BR>instrumentalists, conductors, composers, ...<BR><BR>The patch is/will be available free of charge, only paypal donations are<BR>accepted (or suggested). But I'm considering using a different license<BR>than the general BSD license I usually ship my abstractions with. Since<BR>it's a rather complex patch (and if I get any grants to continue to work<BR>on it, it might get even more complex), I would prefer for people
not to<BR>edit it too much - although most of the people using it won't be able even<BR>to open the gop.<BR>Another aspect is to prevent anyone to grab the code and do a commercial<BR>version of it. Not that it will happen anytime soon, but it might be a<BR>possibility.<BR><BR>I was thinking of instead the BSD to use a CC license, the "Attribution No<BR>Derivatives" one - http://creativecommons.org/about/licenses/. Basically<BR>something that allows people to disseminate the program (even though is<BR>available online), but without them changing it (or not without my<BR>consent/knowledge).<BR><BR>Does anyone of you has any experience with this, or can suggest a more<BR>efficient way of thinking about this?<BR><BR>Best,<BR><BR>Joćo Pais<BR><BR><BR>--Friedenstr. 58<BR>10249 Berlin (Deutschland)<BR>Tel +49 30 42020091 | Mob +49 162 6843570<BR>Studio +49 30 69509190<BR><A href="mailto:jmmmpais@googlemail.com"
