Hello list,

	I'm a musician who plays for traditional English dancing (morris and 
barn dances) who is also very interested in music education. There are 
lots of musicians out there writing new tunes for dancing which over the 
years become absorbed into the traditional repertoire. I (along with 
other like-minded musicians) am keen to find a license for our new 
compositions in notation form which is compatible with the "folk 
tradition" whilst protecting some of our rights as authors. I think the 
CC license *nearly* does what I want, namely:

1) Require attribution - YES
2) Allow commercial uses - NO
3) Allow modifications of work - YES AS LONG AS OTHERS SHARE ALIKE

However, I would like to modify 2) to become
2) Allow commercial uses - IN LIVE PERFORMANCE ONLY
or, possibly
2) Allow commercial uses - ONLY FOR LIVE PERFORMANCE OF MUSIC INTENDED 
PRIMARILY FOR DANCING

Is it easy/possible to make a license of this type?

Also, what is the view of the MCPS/PRS on this type of license?

best wishes

Colin Cotter
