Hello Gottfried. What you describe is a very restrictive license, unlike Creative Commons.
Dr. Arne Babenhauserheide’s non-restrictive, free culture stance is not required in GNU, but non-free art is too much hassle for most of us. You are okay with playback and modification of your song (which you make possible by publishing the source), but for Guix only and you want to be informed. If you clearly state this, it is a license. But: For programs, the GNU philosophy is that granting the right to use, study, modify for *any* purpose is the best choice, except GNU licenses often disallow restricting the program. Songs are different from programs, though I believe Guix people would demand the rights before including your song in the guix-artwork repository. https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix/guix-artwork.git Also note that criminals (and even A.I. companies praised in media) often disregard licenses. > 5. > The creative commons suggest point 2: > > Do you want attribution for your work? > Yes.

No, I don’t see any connection between misuse and whether you use your full name. > 10. > The creative commons suggest point 7: > > Attribution Details > > Filling out this form is optional, but helps others attribute your > work to you, and fills in machine-readable code. > Title of Work > Creator of Work > Link to Work > Link to Creator Profile > Year Of Creation > > Link to Work: > > Is it good to give the > help-guix@gnu.org archive website > > https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2024-05/msg00063.html > > or the > > https://www.mytuxedo.de/index.php/s/fa88o8iHCYfDFdR > link > > as the attribution details, > because I have no website?

For well-known licenses, the name of the license like CC-BY-SA and the version of the license is enough to tell. Regards, Florian
