I'm putting together a website with a curated/submitted collection of 
Csound compositions which can be played in the browser and source files 
downloaded.

I have a basic prototype here with files I've found around the internet: 
https://compositions.csound.1bpm.net/

However not all of these have any clear copyright/license details so at 
the moment they exist on the site tenuously.. Some are gathered from 
other sites with collections of other people's compositions such as 
https://freaknet.org/martin/audio/csound/

Would it be best practice to try and reach out to all of the composers 
(I've looked and not all have contact details available), if no explicit 
license - assuming generally if there's no license then it's 
copyright/not to reproduce - or assume if it's shared online they'd be 
happy for it to be shared onward?
I have included links and details for each of the compositions I've 
found as much as possible & any suggestions/feedback are appreciated.

Unless someone has removed it there is a Cs section for licences including some common licences with a short code or a full text.

Wasn't there a CsLicense XML tag allowed in CSD files?

Yes there is - but it's rarely used from what I've seen.

I propose this piece of mine, Ressac:
http://www.zogotounga.net/comp/squeak/Ressac.csd

No licence in the CSD, but since the Reson 6 orchestra is from Stephen 
Yi it is his choice to make it public or not (I got it from his blog). 
If the piece makes it to the collection, I can give whatever licence to 
the score that works the best for you.

The score was composed with muO:
