I’m not sure about the rev share aspect, but I’m a bit disappointed that, despite his message of “go ahead and do your thing, worry about edge cases later” (paraphrasing), the legalese further introduces the concept of commercial and non-commercial nature of different tracks.

I genuinely hoped for a MIT/BSD-like license that would allow people to express themselves freely with his content. However, I am now less inclined to do so.

Update: All said, still grateful to him for doing something. That’s already way more than most artists to do give back.

The articulated restrictions could be defined as a creative commons license too. With cc-by-nc-nd (attribition-noncommercial-noderivative), people would be free to use the songs for any non-commercial purpose and would have to aquire a license for everything beyond. The fact that moby is rolling out (and enforcing?) his own thing makes it untrustworthy.

It's very possible he doesn't know about cc-by-nc-ld not everyone hangs out on techie websites and consumes open source.

But you'd think whoever he hired that understands media licensing would. Cc-BY is pretty common in stock footage licensing for example
