Free Music License?

   License proliferation is bad. Other than that, the GNU project hasn't
   anything to do with music.

The GNU project has a arts section, and collects various songs that
are about free software an hacking.  The Free Software song is one
such example.

   The FSF can't even write a decent documentation license, so a music
   license would probably be even worse than that.

The GNU FDL is a perfectly good license, and it would do you good not
to belittle other peoples efforts.

For music, I'd say that a simple `verbatim copying' license would be
enough.
