Dear Fred: We are delighted and glad to hear that you like the song and appreciate the work/effort. Thank you too for sharing with us an important/ relevant article to clarify copyright and non-commercial issues. Upon reading along and pondering we realize how NC could be restrictive and may also be not towards culture and community building. Let us however be regarded a little time to consider our options more concretely and we promise to revert to you guys on a detailed and more positive note. Thank you very much and more power to all, Meric ________________________________ From: Frederic Muller - SFI <fred@softwarefreedomday.org> To: sfd-discuss@sf-day.org Sent: Tuesday, July 19, 2011 4:35 PM Subject: Re: [SFD-discuss] Celebrate Software Freedom Day Song Dear Meric, Thanks a lot for the great song! Definitely a worthy addition to our marketing tools for team organizers. I do have a small problem regarding the license being NC. Organizing a SFD event means that some team will raise funds and maybe even make money (for themselves or the organization they represent). So in that context NC being so vague could conflict with such an event. NC is also a lot more restrictive than GPL Nina Paley has a good blog post related to the issue which you can read here: http://blog.ninapaley.com/2010/09/01/paley-vs-doctorow/ And then some more: http://blog.ninapaley.com/2011/07/04/rantifesto/ http://blog.ninapaley.com/2010/10/20/creative-commons-branding-confusion/ With this in mind it would be really nice if you could re-license the song under a CC-BY-SA or CC-BY Thanks a lot for your consideration and looking forward to reading from you soon.
