Aargh, CC license but its the attribution non-commercial version, which makes the entire thing useless, as "non commercial" is completely ill-defined. So for example, it is unusable by Wikipedia.
- teh_klev 12y agoAren't you stretching things a bit by stating that "the entire thing useless" just because of its license? I live in a rural area with an incredibly wide spectrum of birdsong throughout the seasons. Strangely, as I've grown older, I'm come to appreciate the sounds of our local wildlife, especially birdsong. Hell I even wake up early enough to listen to "Tweet of the Day" on BBC Radio 4 [0]. I'd say this site is certainly not "useless" for aficionados of our feathered friends. Also...must everything end up on Wikipedia?

- justincormack 12y agoWikipedia was just an example. And frankly, the birds make these lovely noises, the people who record them should not restrict usage - there is no creative input. Essentially to make them part of free culture we are going to have to relicense them or rerecord them.
- laurentoget 12y agoFunny you would mention that. I actually got to that site from a link on wikipedia.
