Hi,

I ask you, even if it's merely related to mutopia. But I need a bit of 
your experience on copyright/left.

I would like to publish some sheets under an open licensing scheme 
(let's say creative commons).
The "edition" (the notes printed, lilypond sources files etc..) would be 
freely available for copy, modification (under restricted terms) and 
distribution etc...
But the "music" itself would remain the property of the composer, with 
all the right granted by the law in the country of the composer : both 
moral AND patrimonial rights (whereof the right to be paid for a public 
performance, via organisms like the french SACEM, etc...)

The goal would be
1 - to remunerate alive composers
2 - to allow students to try sheets and rehearse, for free (free as free 
beer)
3 - to allow people to easily arrange the sheets for new instruments 
(thanks to lilypond sources)

I now have a problem of wording.
How could I say unambiguously that

"this edition is released under the terms of the CC-SA (c) J. Smith 2008"
"the composer is a member of the SACEM don't forget to declare your 
performances"

?

Hop,

Yota
