Severed Fifth Licensing

by | Tue 29 Jul 2008

You know what? I hate licensing. Sure, it is a necessary evil, but I prefer to spend my time on doing things as opposed to licensing things.

Despite this, licensing is a key element of [Severed Fifth](https://www.severedfifth.com/) and I went through quite a mental journey to finalise the choice of the [Creative Commons Sampling Plus](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/sampling+/1.0/) license. I wrote up a short essay on this which you can read [here](https://www.severedfifth.com/blog/2008/07/licensing-severed-fifth-101/).

Also, a few other Severed Fifth tidbits:

* The [second sneak peek](https://www.severedfifth.com/news/2008/07/second-sneak-peek-availble/) of the album is available. 🙂
* Thanks to Brad Nelson who is going to be getting the [Severed Fifth Facebook Group](https://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=60451700536) in shape.
* The first official Severed Fifth t-shirt is ready and I will be opening the store soon.

Lots more is going on on…more details soon.
