Samus_Aranhello.  I am wondering about the "Noncommercial. You may not use this work for commercial purposes." part of the license.  if I am building and selling children's computers using open source products, and include a background music clip under that license, is that allowed or not ?17:11
Samus_Aranthe FAQ is vague on this usage17:13
Samus_Aranand the full license also seems vague to me17:16
Samus_Aranthe money charged for the computer is for hardware and my time, not for any given piece of media or open source software on the system17:17
Samus_Aranbut I am not sure if that is allowable or not17:17

*** rohitj has quit IRC17:29
tanjirSamus_Aran: can you contact the license owner?17:40
Samus_Arantanjir: is there not a specific for this sort of thing in the license itself ?17:41
*** rohitj has joined #cc17:41
Samus_Arantanjir: I am finding music on archive.org, sometimes there is contact information, sometimes not17:41
*** rohitj has quit IRC17:44
greg-gSamus_Aran: there is no one set definition of NonCommercial, thus, if you feel your use is unclear the best thing to do would be contacting the creator17:45
Samus_Aranif I would need to contact each of the authors on the non-commercial license then I would just opt to not use any of it, as most of the music on archive.org is only attribution17:46
Samus_Aranand I intend to have a credits page for the music17:46
greg-gSamus_Aran: also, help Creative Commons make better recommendations on NonCommercial use by taking this survey: http://creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/1129817:46
greg-gSamus_Aran: if you are unsure about your use after reading the legal code for the license, then you should ask the creator.  It is a problem that people who decided to use NonCommercial licenses face.17:47
Samus_Arangreg-g: I see.  thank you17:48
greg-gSamus_Aran: personally, if the background music is non-integral to your product, I would allow it if it was my music.  But that is just me.17:48
greg-gI am not a lawyer, nor play one on TV.17:48
Samus_Aranheh17:49
Samus_Aranit's just background music for when the children are choosing which program to load next17:49
greg-ghmmm17:49
Samus_Aranso it is certainly non-integral to the product17:49
greg-gis there any non NC music you could use instead?17:49
Samus_Aranyes, lots17:49
Samus_Aranand I think I may just leave out the NC ones to avoid confusion17:50
Samus_Aranarchive.org has a really enormous collection of CC music, it's amazing17:50
greg-gthen if you just want to not worry about it, use CC:BY music17:50
Samus_AranI just put in "instrumental" in the search for the section "Open Source Audio" and there are hundreds of results17:51
Samus_AranI love archive.org17:51
greg-gright, and I would just use music that is licensed as CC:BY.17:52
Samus_Aranwhat does the BY signify ?  I see it on the page, but I don't understand the lettering17:54
Samus_Aranthere is so much quality music on archive.org, it is surprising17:57
*** greg_g has joined #cc18:01
greg_gSamus_Aran: see this page for a description of all the licenses: http://creativecommons.org/about/licenses/meet-the-licenses18:01
Samus_Aranokay so it just means attribution.  had me confused, as the other ones were mostly acronyms18:02
greg_gyeah, a little out of the ordinary18:03

paulproteusSamus_Aran, Hey now.18:46
Samus_Aranpaulproteus: haylo18:46
paulproteusIt seems to me (non-laywer, this is not legal advice) that your use of the NC music would be fine.18:47
paulproteusYou're only selling copies incidentally.18:47
paulproteusWe do have an old, non-binding set of NC guidelines at...18:48
paulproteus...er, we removed it from  http://wiki.creativecommons.org/DiscussionDraftNonCommercial_Guidelines because we want to wait for the new NC study to finish I guess.18:48
paulproteusWell, anyway, I agree that clarity is good.18:48
*** [mharrison] has quit IRC18:52
paulproteusWow, I'm not very useful.18:52
paulproteusI'll just go away now. (-:18:52
Samus_Aranpaulproteus: thanks for trying.  =)18:55
Samus_Aranpaulproteus: I am curious what the survey will say18:55
paulproteusI think it'll say, "NC means different things to different people."18:55
paulproteusJust guessing. (-;18:55
tanjirhello all18:55
* paulproteus runs and hides18:55
Samus_Arantanjir: greets18:55
tanjirhi Samus_Aran18:55
tanjiri am curious to know if any one solved this: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Feed_License_Discovery_Heuristics_for_PHP18:56
tanjirdoes any one know about it?18:56
mlinksvatanjir: not that i know of19:00
mlinksvawouldn't be hard if the psuedocode on the syndication page is non-bogus, which may or may not be the case (i wrote it)19:00
tanjirmlinksva: thanks for the information... i have started to write one.19:01
tanjirhopefully it will be ready by tonight or tomorrow.19:02
tanjiris there any one whom should i contact for any code inspection?19:02
tanjiri am willing to provide my library under lgpl19:03
tanjir(the pseudo code worked perfectly fine for me)19:05
Samus_Aranpaulproteus: I was just thinking about another way around the issue, I can include the songs on a separate CD, free of charge (which would copy onto the computer once you put it in), or similar19:06
Samus_AranI can't just have the person auto-download them, as the computers I am building are without any Internet19:06
mlinksvatanjir: you could ping me or paulproteus or nathany here or email the cc-devel list19:09
Samus_Aranpaulproteus: perhaps it would be enough to just include a printed sheet with the computer stating the list of songs and artists and license and that no charge is being made to include them19:12
