Re: More Soundtrack

[Dave Fancella <david.fancella@comcast.net>]

All,

This is it, for now.  On my music page, you'll find an ogg-encoded version of 
the song.

You can also download the midi file and try that, it's much smaller (88k).

I found an appropriate license for it.  :)  This song is provided under the 
Open Source License v2, the complete text of which should be embedded in the 
midi file and can also be found here:

http://opensource.org/licenses/osl-2.0.php

I assume it's GPL compatible.  If it's not, I'll find one that is.  ;)

So, the question is, I should provide the source for the song.  The midi is 
the source, except that I used RoseGarden, and it's file format is the source 
I edit.  So am I supposed to provide the .rg file, or is the .mid file 
enough?  I don't mind either way, but it could affect the core distribution 
if we have to include the rosegarden files.  I'll send the OSI an email 
asking about it.
