Hi. Is there any kind of official statement or PG policy concerning works licensed under a Creative Commons license? Are such works acceptable? Also, is there anyone maintaining the PG music archive? I am asking because I know of several composers of classic MIDI files. I am planning to ask them to consider licensing their works under a Creative Commons type license. I can also mention Project Gutenberg and/or drop a name of someone for them to contact if they want or will allow PG to distribute their works. This would be good for PG because some composers have done a lot of classical music from a number of pre-1922 compositions. I don't think I can help with sheet music, and of course I have no way of knowing that the sheet music sources they used are in the public domain. I know that some of them also make various files available in mp3, but I don't think they offer other formats. Is this something I should consider on behalf of PG or not? If PG is interested in something like this, I would also ask them to consider just releasing their files into the public domain, but I doubt if that will happen. Thanks, and feel free to write me off list if it's easier. Tony Baechler Maintainer, goldenaudio.net (TM) online archives http://goldenaudio.net/
