     Actually, I will be providing my MIDI arrangements under a CC 
attribution license.  The question is how people are facilitating the use 
of their work ... do you assume that every potential user can deal with the 
minimal requirements of maintaining the link to the CC license, or are 
people doing "howto" pages?

     I'm thinking of past practice, going back 10 years, where folks 
freely "borrowed" MIDI files as low-bandwidth background music for their 
personal web pages.  (Strictly speaking, this use OUGHT to be considered 
"private", or otherwise exempt from copyright restrictions as fair use, but 
we now live on this particular version of planet Earth.)  Many of these 
potential users might have trouble figuring out how to comply.

     So I just thought that others have been here already, and could 
provide links to their sites, to show how they deal with it.

                                                                   John
