Hi all,
I would like to ask a question about the use of music tracks for the GPL game Freeciv. I've been in contact with a musician and he has agreed to give permission to allow some his of tracks to be used for Freeciv as long as he's given credit.
"All tracks performed by Chris Abbott and Alistair "Boz" Bowness (c)1986 High Technology Publishing Ltd., (p) 2001 High Technology Publishing Ltd. taken from the CD "Back in Time 3", used with permission. More info at http://www.c64audio.com.
Does a licence like that cause any problems? If you give permission to use your music (a datafile) for a project would that automatically place it under the GPL or do the full copyrights for the song itself still remain with the original author?
I don't believe there are problems with this. But I would like to verify with someone in the know before i give the final go ahead.
Thanks in advance,
Thomas van Kooten
