Thanks for the suggestions below. We'll work on these later today. The song is being released with *CC BY-SA license. * * * On Tue, Sep 13, 2011 at 3:00 PM, Pockey Lam <pockey@softwarefreedomday.org>wrote:

Hi Rick,

It's really nice! Is it a cc-by or cc-by-sa license :-)

After clarifying the license, we will make a SFI blog post to promote it. Besides, do you have a Ogg version to download?

PS: If you don't use a flash player, the song doesn't come. Can you make it Gnash compatible? :-)

All the best! Pockey

Below is the text of the song.

+++

When what they make you want is not what you need And then they bind your life to an order they fuel with greed And so with whatever you do they force you to work in their system But you know it never is too late to realize you're a victim

Be free Today lets make that stand Come and do this with me hand in hand And be free Its the freedom to create Free to share and educate A mind to nurture and liberate

When what they make you want is not what you need And then they bind your life to an order they fuel with greed And so with whatever you do they force you to work in their system But you know it never is too late to realize you're a victim

Be free Today lets make that stand Come and do this with me hand in hand And be free Its the freedom to create Free to share and educate A mind to nurture so don't hesitate To be free Today lets make that stand Come and do this with me hand in hand And be free Its the freedom to create Free to share and educate A mind to nurture and liberate

Hey Rick,

I like the indie vibe of the song and I think it's a great addition to ourlist<http://wiki.softwarefreedomday.org/Resources#Songs>of Software Freedom Day songs that includes the Free Software Song and Celebrate Software Freedom Day Song.

I saw on the Youtube page <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aP5hgVkQT6o>* of this song that it is licensed under CC-BY (reuse allowed)<http://www.youtube.com/t/creative_commons> .

I hope the license also applies to the song per se. I'm planning to the buy a FLAC or Ogg Vorbis copy of the song on bandcamp<http://karlramirez.bandcamp.com/track/free> to support the artist.

Cheers,

~JM Software Freedom Day
