Re: Releasing the "source code" of music

Hmm well I have been thinking about this more. I was releasing under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 but I decided to drop it down to CC BY-SA 4.0, since I'm not really that opposed to people making money with it if they're willing acknowledge that I wrote the original song.

Re: Brainstorming a new Linux distribution for Music Production and Game Dev

Like Shuttleworth? I ain't interested. Canonical and Redhat have caused enough trouble for Linux. So much trouble, in fact, that you'd be better off starting a new OS from scratch. Care to elaborate?

In the next year or so, I'm going to be in a financial position to set up an office and hire a staff to work with me on my ideas.
