Hello!
I'm new with LMMS, but I want to use it fot create a music background for my projects that I was always dreaming about, for example a podcast (somebody will read my text and I want a gentle music in background), or a song which I could show later to somebody who creates PC games etc.( and later even use it in that game).
It means, that I want to use my work created in LMMS for commercial use, for example share it on Spotify with that podcast etc. that maybe could give me some money in future.
I find some topics that tells about copyright, using LMMS for commercial use etc. but i am a bit confused...
Please confirm, if I'm right:
1. LMMS is free for commercial use, that means that everything I create in LMMS is my own work and I can do with it whatever I want, even sell it or share on Spotify, and I don't have to write under it that it was created in LMMS (but of course it will be nice to write it
)
2. Also instrument plugins (triple oscilator etc.), samples (cello01.ogg etc.) and presets (mysterious bank in ZynAddSubFX etc.) that I can find in LMMS right after installation (on the left hand below menu) is totally free and I can use it with no restrictions in my songs, such as I write in point 1 above? I can use it for commercial uses, for example create a song with this instruments/samples/presets and share it on Spotify and make money for my song?
3. Projects that is in LMMS after installation (Surrender-Main.nmpz) is not as free as above, because if I want to use some of this projects I should contact the creator of each project?
I know, that if I find some presets or samples in internet, I must check the license - at this moment I'm searching through internet to find samples that is under Creative Commons 0 to be safe.
I don't want to violate someones rights, and have any legal troubles.
I will be grateful for any help and advice!
