   The latest episode of the excellent #LibreLounge podcast is about #FreeCulture, the #CreativeCommons licenses, and #Remix and #Mashup culture:

      @cwebber @emacsen a couple of corrections on your latest #LibreLounge episode. The #FMA (Free Music Archive) has been saved! They found a new institutional host, a camera gear rental platform called #KitSplit:

      OTOH #OpSound.org is shutting down, which is sad.

         @emacsen Secondly, in the drafting process for version 4.0 of the CC licenses, there was a lot of tightening up of the definitional boundaries of "commercial use". For example, 4.0 NC licenses specifically allow you to charge @cwebber for the cost of the USB stick when you give him copies of music on one. Just as you're allowed to charge a reasonable rate for printed copies of source code under GPL:

            @emacsen @cwebber #IANAL but my understanding is that "commercial use" of an NC-licensed work is limited to charging money for access to *the work itself*. For example, if you charged people to download your podcast, that would trigger the NC clause on any music you used in it, but putting a paid ad on your website would not.

               @emacsen @cwebber During the 4.0 drafting process, there was discussion about whether it's commercial use if an NC work was listed on a BitTorrent search site that has paid ads. From what I remember, the consensus was a "no" on that. So if you used an NC image on a web page and put a paid ad on that same web page, I don't believe that would trigger the NC clause either (again #IANAL). Using an image on a web page might trigger an ND clause though (not sure on that one).
