Who said under different terms? Did you look at the link? Do you know that
the
restriction mentioned must refer to different terms? If so, please clear that
point up for the rest of us if you can.

The site in question says you can't include a CC BY work in a "royalty-free
music collection" ("This music may not be resold as part of a royalty-free
music collection.")

Couldn't a collection on CD of CC BY and BY-SA songs be considered a
"royalty-free music collection?" You could make free use of them so long as
you abided by the BY and BY-SA conditions could you not? Or does
"royalty-free music collection" have some special legal or industry meaning
that some of us are not aware of?

all the best,

drew
