Package: wesnoth-music Version: All Zhaytee has some of his music in westnoth-music package. He seems to not be keen on keeping it the same open-license as the rest of the project though. Wesnoth or wesnoth-music may need to be removed from the free repository. Zhaytee seems to be trying to recind openlicense from his work.
Music in Adonthell by zhaytee is now claimed to be closed-source. He takes a dim view of other open source projects/packages using his music. He says it's "unauthorized" even though the whole of Adonthell is under the GPL. (Note he also has 'contributed' (if his music is propriatary it's not really a contribution) to the Battle for Westnoth).

Reply with quote Hi, It has been brought to my attention that there is a Nexiuz map called "dastower40", by a certain "MikeeUSA", which makes use of one of my songs (at-menu.ogg). I did not give permission to MikeeUSA for the use of my song in his or her map. Nexiuz seems like a cool game and all, but I do not want my music to be used in this way unless I grant permission first. So please e-mail me if you want to use my music. I may even be willing to create some original tunes for your map, who knows! I am hoping that MikeeUSA and anyone else who has or is planning to gank music without first securing permission from the composer will see this.

The .ogg version is included in the distribution of that game, which you can find on their official site: http://adonthell.linuxgames.com/ While Adonthell is a GPL'd project, and while my music is used in that game (via my explicit granting of permission), I still retain copyright and licensing rights to the music. I love helping out opensource projects by providing original music, but I do request that I be contacted before my music is used. Perhaps I should make this more clear on my site!
