You can legally do whatever you want with music to which you own the copyright. CC licenses serve to grant limited rights to other people, where without them they'd have no rights at all. They're not like some kind of oath you take where you swear never to sell your stuff or release it under a different license. Think of it like Openoffice/Staroffice.... anyone can do whatever the LGPL allows with Openoffice, but Sun can still sell Staroffice without including source and they're the only ones who can do so. See also MySQL, Qt, sendmail, and any number of other dual-licensed products. It just hasn't been as common a practice in music because CC licenses aren't as prevalent as free software licenses are in software. Rob
