Yes but my point is that if you ever get to where you might actually want to release something you could just purchase a license right? Or is there some reason I’m missing why that wouldn’t work?
I’ve made music for years, and I always released my beats so that they were free to use for non commercial purposes, but you needed a license to make money for it. It sounds like this is the same thing. If you actually have a finished product where you could make some money on it, then the cost of a license would probably be very reasonable.
For example, you wouldn’t go through all the trouble of really trying to sell something if you only expected to make a couple of hundred dollars off it.
