let me clearly state I'm firmly on FOSDEM's side.
1. Actually, the Belgian CC license explicitly states that the license
does not change anything to the "billijke vergoeding".
2. you get permission to distribute, but that saying that distributing
equals playing (or performing) is a personal interpretation
3. contrast the Belgian CC license with the Spanish one: the Spanish one
explictly allows public performance, while the Belgian one does not.
My question: can a "billijke vergoeding" be demanded on music published
under a non-Belgian CC license? If the problem lies solely with the
Belgian CC license, a solution would be to not use Belgian CC'd music,
correct?
Thanks
