Hello all!

The official csound website has some pages with many instruments. I didn't
find anything about licence restrictions. Can somebody use them for
composing music (commercial or not)?

Best regards

You can absolutely use the Csound Instruments to Compose Commercial
and Non-Commercial Music.  (You should create your own score files -  
because
that is the *music*)  You can make samples from Csound Instruments too.

but...

You can't SELL or publish the Csound Instruments without the  
permission of the instrument designers

and....

When you do use the Csound Instruments @ cSounds.com or from The  
Csound Catalog with Audio, you should
CITE your sources of inspiration and derivation in the following or  
similar fashion:

-  thanks to Hans Mikelson for his inspiring Wave Terrain Instruments  
in The Csound Catalog
-  harmonic pads were derived from Jean-Claude Risset's *Arpeggiator*  
instruments @ cSounds.com
- ALL Sounds and Samples were made with Csound and include original  
instument desidns and some
based on Instruments from The Csound Catalog by Mikelson, Smaragdis,  
Risset, Cook, Varga, and ffitch


---- or something like that.
