@dx you're not required to make it publicly available.
but if you do, then you're supposed to either publish the "Corresponding Source", (whatever that means in this context) or make a written offer to send it.

@val omg i didn't even realize the part about "legally obliged to make a copy publicly available" is just plain wrong

@dx using the GPL for media is truly diabolical

@gsuberland @dx Even I'd agree for that; it was never intended for that, wth provided those drum samples?

@dx the answer is you use a different sample instead :)

@dx release it without drums and allow the listener to dynamically link their own drum sounds in

(serious answer: I read it as "you have to let people share/remix your song", but IANAL. I would have chosen CC SA or something if I wanted that.)

@dx general percussive license

@emily @dx i am 1000% into this idea

@emily @dx presumably you’d also have to share the source files (“the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it”), not just the “compiled” mp3

@dx woah so cool, the GPL license will let me use your project in my ai powered military drone project! GPL is so cool!

I happily ignore GPL, but I *will* abide to any serious license that protect minorities and worker's rights
