Then there is UTAU[2] which is nonfree, but I found out that someone else in Japan had written a free software replacement that I had to port to GNU/Linux. I also compose my own songs using LMMS, Rosegarden, MMA+Linuxband and eCantorix[3] to create singing in a non-Japanese language. I also do workshops at Anime conventions where I introduce people how to use the free programs. I also work on my first con-album which I will sell physically (as a burned CD) at those anime conventions when the work is finished. Free does not have to be gratis. For LMMS there is a sharing platform where you can upload your songs in source code format. But I had no time to use that platform yet. In the case of my free software virtual singer, I use my private instance of GNU Mediagoblin the publish both the ogg file and the source code. I release the source code of my music under the GPL and/or CC-BY-SA license. However I do not know if the copyleft of the GPL can be applied to music.
