+EFF Open Audio License:
+
+Version 1.0.1
+
+Changes from ver. 1.0[.0]: Typo corrections; no substantive changes. 
+	1.  I. Preamble 
+	2.  II. Terms of Use 
+	3.  III. How to Use this License 
+
+I. PREAMBLE
+
+PRINCIPLES
+
+Digital technology and the Internet can eMPOWER ARTISTS TO REACH A
+WORldwide audience and to build upon each other's ideas and imagination
+with extremely low production and distribution costs. Many software
+developers, through both the open source software initiative and the
+free software movement, have long taken advantage of these facts to
+create a vibrant community of shared software that benefits creators and
+the public.
+
+EFF's Open Audio License provides a legal tool that borrows from both
+movements providing freedom and openness to use music and other
+expressive works in new ways. It allows artists to grant the public
+permission to copy, distribute, adapt, and publicly perform their works
+royalty-free as long as credit is given to the creator as the Original
+Author.
+
+As in the software communities, this license is intended to help foster
+a community of creators and performers who are free to share and build
+on each others' work. This also frees their audience to share works that
+they enjoy with others, all for the purpose of creating a rich and
+vibrant public commons.
+
+More specifically, this license is designed to serve as a tool of
+freedom for artists who wish to reach one another and new fans with
+their original works. It allows musicians to collaborate in creating a
+pool of "open audio" that can be freely modified, exchanged, and
+utilized in new ways. Artists can use this license to promote themselves
+and take advantage of the new possibilities for empowerment and
+independence that technology provides. It also allows the public to
+experience new music, and connect directly with artists, as well as
+enable "super distribution" where the public is encouraged to copy and
+distribute a work, adding value to the artist's reputation while
+experiencing a world of new music never before available.
+
+Why is the EFF advocating a license?
+
+Because, despite the fact that we are uneasy with the licensing, as
+opposed to sale, of both music and software, we see this particular
+license as a tool of freedom. Our goal is to use the tools of copyright
+to free artists and audiences from the portion of current copyright law
+that seems, to us, to be getting in the way of copyright's original
+purpose -- the creation of a vibrant public commons of music that we all
+can enjoy and that artists can build upon. As part of it, we hope to
+demonstrate some of what we believe should be the best practices in
+licenses, including respect for the rights and limitations of copyright
+law including fair use, first sale rights, as well as consumer
+protection laws and of course freedom of speech. The aim of this license
+is to use copyright tools to achieve copyright's stated objectives of
+spreading knowledge and culture while preserving incentives for the
+author.
+
+For legal purposes, this document is the official license under which
+Open Audio is made available for public use. The original version of
+this document may be found at:
+http://www.eff.org/IP/Open_licenses/eff_oal.html
+
+Specific terms and conditions for accessing, copying, distribution,
+adaptation, public performance, and attribution follow.
+
+II. TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE:
+
+Access, Copying, Distribution, Public Performance, Adaptation, and Attribution
+
+This license applies to any work offered by the Original Author(s) with
+a notice indicating that it is released under the terms of the EFF Open
+Audio License, "(O)". If used in conjunction with a sound recording
+(whether in digital or analog form), this license encompasses the
+copyright in both the sound recording (the "master" rights) and the
+underlying musical composition (the "songwriter" rights).
+
+The Original Author retains the copyrights to works released under this
+license, but grants the worldwide public permission to use the work in
+the ways authorized herein. Activities other than those specifically
+addressed below are outside the scope of this license.
+
+	1.  Access, Reproduction, Distribution, Modification, and
+	Performance Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
+	license, the Original Author irrevocably and perpetually grants to
+	the public authorization to freely access, copy, distribute, modify,
+	create derivative works from, and publicly perform the work released
+	under this license in any medium or format, provided that Original
+	Author attribution be included with any copies distributed or public
+	performances of the work, as well as any derivative works based on
+	the work, as further described below.
+
+	2.  Original Author Attribution Requirement. Original Author
+	attribution is generally defined as a method in the regular course
+	of dealing that reasonably conveys to the recipient of a copy or
+	performance the following information: (1) The notice "(O)" that
+	indicates the work is released under the EFF Open Audio license; (2)
+	the identity of the Original Author; (3) the title of the work (at
+	Original Author's option); and (4) how the first listed Original
+	Author may be contacted (at Original Author's option).
+
+	Where a common, widely-adopted method for attribution is available
+	(such as ID3 tagging for MP3 files), Original Author attribution
+	should be implemented using the common, widely-adopted method. In
+	other circumstances, Original Author attribution may be implemented
+	in any reasonable fashion, such as by including attribution in the
+	public performance, or affixing it to the physical media, or
+	embedding it in the digital file. See the Suggested Guidelines for
+	general attribution requirements for giving proper credit to the
+	work's Original Author in differing circumstances.
+
+	3.  Agree Not to Limit Others' Use. Any new work that in whole or in
+	part contains or is derived from a work (or part thereof) made
+	available under this license, must itself be licensed as a whole
+	under the terms of this license.
+
+	Notwithstanding the foregoing, mere aggregation on a volume of a
+	storage or distribution medium of an independently created work with
+	one that is made available under this license does not bring the
+	other work under the scope of this license. It is not the intent of
+	this section to contest the rights of others in works created
+	entirely by them; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to
+	control the distribution of derivative or collective works based
+	upon a work subject to this license.
+
+	4.   Acceptance of Terms. Because you have not signed this license,
+	you cannot be required to accept it. But nothing besides this
+	license grants you authorization to copy, distribute, adapt, or
+	publicly perform royalty-free the copyrighted works released under
+	it. These activities are prohibited by law without a license or
+	other contractual right granted by the copyright owner. By
+	exercising one of the rights granted herein you indicate your
+	acceptance of this license and agree to be bound by all its terms
+	and conditions.
+
+	5.  License Version. This license is Version 1.0. New versions of
+	this license will be published from time to time at:
+	http://www.eff.org/IP/Open_licenses/eff_oal.html
+
+	Anyone who releases a work under the license without specifying a
+	version number allows the recipient to use the work subject to the
+	then-current version of this license.
+
+	6.  Civil Liberties Unrestricted. Nothing in this license is
+	intended to reduce, limit, or restrict any fair use, the first sale
+	doctrine, or the public side of the copyright bargain under
+	copyright law, or to in any other way limit any rights bestowed
+	under consumer protection or other applicable laws.
+
+	7.  Warranty. By offering an original work for public release under
+	this license, the Original Author warrants that (i) s/he has the
+	power and authority to grant the rights conveyed herein, and (ii)
+	use of the work within the scope of this license will not infringe
+	the copyright of any third party.
+
+III. HOW TO USE THIS LICENSE
+
+If you are a musician, band, or other artist and you want your creative
+works to be experienced by the widest audience possible and touch the
+hearts and minds of the greatest number of people around the world, the
+EFF Open Audio License allows your fans and supporters to market and
+distribute your work through viral marketing that creates attention and
+adds value to your identity. You can also help build a common pool of
+creative expression that can be accessed and improved upon by all of
+society.
+
+To do so, convey or affix the following information to or about the copy
+or performance of the work:
+
+
+The designation "(O)", representing "open" which indicates that the
+Original Author(s) have released the work subject to the terms and
+conditions of this public license;
+
+	Name of work's Original Author(s) (both the performer and the song
+	writer);
+
+	Name or title of work (at option of author);
+
+	First Original Author's specified contact means usually an email or
+	Internet address (at option of author);
+
+	notice, year created; and license version number.

+
+This license is designed to provide artists with a mechanism to promote
+their creative talents and identity to millions of people through
+releasing certain recordings to the public. It is also designed to serve
+as a tool to allow musicians to experiment with new business models that
+do not depend solely on a payment of fee-per-copy. Changing times
+require artists be creative in devising new business models for assuring
+payment and adequate compensation for their important contributions to
+society.
