You need to get a licence from the Harry Fox Organization:

Click songlist, put 'Woodstock' in the search engine, then
click the 'view' button, then click the 'licence' button,
or, if she is making up less than 2500 copies, there is a special rate
and a place to click on the lower left. Min. copies is 500.
If she is just burning them herself, in low numbers, I am not sure
what to do. But check out the site. She can obtain a license on
line with a credit card. They will also ask you what country you are
making and distributing in.
Harry Fox handles licensing for nearly all compositions.
