Actually, that is about what I do. The license I use is one of the cc BY-SA 
ones. A lot like the GPL but for music and other art, etc.

I wish people would start trying to make money selling my stuff. It would be 
nice if they shared some of the wealth if they made a bunch but right now, 
moving my stuff would be a nice start.

I do have some ideas I am documenting on how to make something if you want to 
while using Free Licenses for various artworks. Here is a link:

In any case, here are some of my lyrics and bits of lyrics:

You are free to try and make something money wise from them so long as you 
follow the license terms.
