Slightly orthogonal to your request, but I'm not quite sure what you get by choosing machine generated music over human generated music WRT copyright. The machine generated music will be considered a derived work under copyright, so you're going to need a license for it anyway. You could just obtain music from a human and get a license as well.
- rjmunro 7y agoI don't think this is true. The output of a program is not considered as a derivative work of that program. E.g. Is a photo taken by a digital camera considered a derived work from the camera firmware?
- mikekchar 7y agoThat's a different situation. The digital camera is not creating the work. It's analagous to a compiler generating code. It used to be the fashion of compiler vendors to not give you a free license to the derived work that the compiler generates. GCC even has a separate clause in its license to allow the output not to be GPL.
