    Default Free music for a software

    Hi,

    I don't know if this is the right section, in any case I'm writing a software under GPL license and I need some background music for the software. Does anyone know a site where I can download free music and sounds that I can use without problems copyright?

    Make sure you read the license before distributing your software (even though the music is free, it's not public domain)

    Thanks,
    Since I am not a license's expert can you explain better how it works?
    Can I include in my GPL software music under royalty-free? Under which licenses must be the music? I only have to add a reference to author in software credits?
    I'm sorry but I do not want to mess

    I'm not a lawyer. I can't tell you what you need to do. If you want to be sure you are not breaking the license you would need to contact a lawyer. The license may even be read differently depending on country.

    Alternatively, you can read the FAQ or contact the author and offer credit for including his recordings in your software.
