Now that I think of it, the license I've always used to publish my stuff is by-nc-nd, not by-nc-sa. I don't remember now if the license at Opsound.org when I registered was nd (non-derivative) or sa (share-alike). If the latter is true, is has been a mistake from my side (probably I confused them or I didn't pay enough attention). But still, they removed the non-commercial clause. Anyway, do you think that - once I've succesfully had these tracks removed from these tracks - I can keep the by-nc-nd license everywhere else? Or should I relicense those particular tracks under by-sa? Best, -c.
