Hi,

I’ve just posted a new remix, which contained two samples. One sample was licenced as CC-BY-NC, and the other was CC-Sampling+ (ie. neither were Share-Alike).

For some reason, my remix can only be posted with a CC-Sampling+ licence. Is there a way to change it back to CC-BY-NC (which is what I wanted)?


Thanks.

In order to ensure the maximum compatibility with all the licenses in the “source ancestry” of a remix, CCMixter automatically sets your remix’s license type to the most restrictive of the license types used in the source tree. The idea is that if, say, you were to remix a Scomber song that he only offered non-commercially, you can’t use your version to loosen his license restrictions any further. You have to offer a license that is either similar or even more restrictive (if another source has a more restrictive license.)

So that’s the only caution I would offer, particularly if using Freesound samples… you’re going to end up attached to the sampling licenses typically used over there.
