License Question

Anything that doesn't fit into other topics goes here!

A have to ask this because is still not clear to me what kind of License should I choose in different situations. I asked AI but not satisfied with the answer.

By default when uploading a track, the License is Creative Commons (by)

I have 3 cases where I do not really know how to set it.

Case 1: Covers
Here the License cannot be attributed directly because the author is not in LMMS community.

Case 2. Remixes or changed existing LMMS files from other LMMS community members.
Here I want to give the full rights to the author back if possible.

Case 3: My Originals songs.
Here should be possible for everyone to do remixes or reuse the presets to create something new.

What kind of License should I use on all 3 cases?

Not really related to LMMS.
I would go with whatever AI suggests. In case 3 it looks like you want to give your orr. work to anyone for them to use as they like?
That would be the MIT license. You are literately giving anyone the rights to your work, even commercially -as long as they cites you as orr createur.

Thanks for the idea. I will use MIT license or just let the default "License: Creative Commons (by)" that stands for:

Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license is a public copyright license that lets anyone share, copy, distribute, remix, adapt, and build upon a creator's work—even for commercial purposes—as long as they give proper credit to the original author.

The licence topic is like "Down the rabbit hole", very complex and very fuzzy, too much headache for an amateur creator like myself. :D
