Free Sheet Music License
Andy Clifton: "The Free Sheet Music License arose out of my efforts to find a way to give away copies of music that I have written, while still retaining certain rights. I searched the Internet for "free sheet music"; I found virtually nothing about licensing. Although there are composers with sites where you can download scores for their compositions, none of them seems to have considered the legal aspects of their distribution method. In order to address my concerns, I wrote the FSM. It borrows certain ideas from the GNU General Public License, the Open Content license, and the Free Music Philosophy."
