Like me some of us here may be composing now and then and since licenses like GNU and MIT are a thing here, I'd like to ask what licenses you use for your music.
The scores of all my tunes are publicly available under the Creative Commons license CC-BY-NC-SA which means as much as "free to use as long as the author is mentioned, only used without commercial context and isn't edited without my permission".
The creative commons license is pretty much standard in bal folk circles and (fun fact) unsurprisingly many of those use Linux as well. My session has more or less always multiple Linux users.
Now I'd like to know if this license is valid everywhere and what other OpenSource licenses are out there for music/scores.
Since the GEMA is a big deal (and the reason for most Youtube-blocks in the world), this is kind of a hot topic for many musicians in this area.
