Purpose of this separate repository

[pemensik]

This is a separate repository for music files. It seems their content should not be distributed for commercial purposes.

Original issue linked were raceintospace/raceintospace#420

This is attempt to move data without permissible enough license out of the game itself. Open source Linux distributions do not allow such content in their repositories. But it is not required for the basic game to work.

Can we find precise enough terms, under which can be music files shipped and redistributed? @peyre, can you find exact terms Michael has mentioned?

[peyre]

In #420 he asks if there's "a license whereby the music can only be used with this project". I think that's the last we've heard from him on it. Someone farther down suggested "Probably CC BY-NC-ND 4.0, but there should be a clear statement that those music files are non-separable part of the "Race Into Space" software."

Ah--I think I found what you were looking for. Here's copied and pasted from his email to me:

That's an interesting question. I wanted to give you a quick response and will have to research this more.

My feeling is as long as the graphic assets in the project are used within the bounds of this Race Into Space project it's okay to use.

It's not okay to use the music for anything outside of this Race Info Space project. Doing that would certainly run into trouble with Fritz. If they want to use any of the music they would have to contact Fritz directly for a license.

Thanks,
Michael
