csound not distributable ?
Hi there,
I think I made a mistake by packageing csound, from the copyright:
" For any other uses of this software, in original
or modified form, including but not limited to distribution in whole or in
part, specific prior permission from M.I.T. must be obtained."
I don't have a permission from MIT.
Clearly makes it not distributable ?
