Using the Descant Audio Licence
The Descant Audio Licence ("DAL") provides a standard set of terms
and conditions that creators and other rights holders may use to
share original works of authorship and other material subject to
copyright and certain other rights specified in the public licence
below. The following considerations are for informational purposes
only, are not exhaustive, and do not form part of the licence.
Considerations for Licensors
This public licence is intended for use by those authorised to give
the public permission to use material in ways otherwise restricted
by copyright and certain other rights. This licence is revocable,
so long as the decision to do so is unanimous among all active
rights-holders. Licensors should read and understand the terms and
conditions of this licence before applying it. Licensors should
also secure all rights necessary before applying this licence, so
that the public can reuse the material as expected. Licensors
should clearly mark any material not subject to the licence. This
includes any Creative Commons-licensed material, or material used
under an exception or limitation to copyright.
Considerations for the Public
By using this public licence, a licensor grants the public
permission to use the licensed material under specified terms and
conditions. If the licensor's permission is not necessary for any
reason; for example, because of any applicable exception or
limitation to copyright; then that use is not regulated by the
licence. This licence grants only permissions under copyright and
certain other rights that a licensor has authority to grant. Use of
the licensed material may still be restricted for other reasons,
including because others have copyright or other rights in the
material. A licensor may make special requests, such as asking that
all changes be marked or described. Although not required by this
licence, you are encouraged to respect those requests where
reasonable. rights-holders

Licence Conditions
1. Attribution
You should give appropriate credit to [Artist Name] in a manner
that is suitable for the medium in which the work is used. This
includes conveying the name of the creator and the title of the
work, as well as a link to the licence text. While the specific
form of attribution is at the discretion of the licensor, it is
preferred that it includes a direct link to the licence and/or a
copy of the licence text when feasible.
2. Public Playback
The recording may be played publicly only if no admission fee is
charged specifically for access to the licensed material itself.
This means that while live performances or events may charge for
attendance, the playback of the licensed work must be free of
charge to the audience. The licensee must own a copy of the
licensed material to play it publicly.

version. When doing so, you should provide appropriate credit to
[Artist Name].
4. Redistribution
You may redistribute this work, including in compilation albums
or bootleg CDs, even for payment. While you are not legally
required to provide proper credit, it is strongly encouraged to
acknowledge [Artist Name] whenever possible. If you choose to
redistribute the work, please notify [Artist Name] of your
intent. If you do not receive a response, you may proceed with
the redistribution. However, if a response is received that
withdraws the right to use the track, you must comply with that
request.
5. Derivative Works
You may create derivative works based on this music, but you are
not required to licence them under the same terms. However, you
must still provide appropriate credit to [Artist Name].

You may not apply legal terms or technological measures that
legally restrict others from doing anything the licence permits.
