   On !CC #BY-SA albums/tracks !Jamendo says "Need music for commercial use? License these tracks now!" A tad misleading?

     @freemjd yeah, I always thought that but I figure they gotta make money and from listening to @professorkliq and @tmray the Jamendo money isn't bad.

     @kete #BY-SA (and #BY) don't require additional permission for commercial use.

     @freemjd oh, is licensing because commercial users don't mention the author or share alike?

     @freemjd "CC by-sa commercial use" or "non-CC commercial use"? If the latter, do by-sa artists know they've signed up for that?

     Actually, it's because commercial users won't touch CC-BY-SA content with a ten foot pole. They'll want a traditional deal.

     @freemjd And to make things worse, Jamendo hid the license for albums, and only shows it for individual tracks. Are they ashamed of CC?

     Interesting. That's been my theory for ages. #SA does what most #NC licensors want & #NC prohibits much that they wouldn't object to.

     Potentially. The fact remains #BY and #BY-SA permit commercial use. If most commercial _users_ don't want #BY or #SA, that's another matter.

     @freemjd Not sure who would be mislead tho ... commercial devs no doubt already know what #CC means.
