  According to my understanding of the copyright as it applies
  to CSound, the program is like a compiler. The program itself
  may only be distributed according to the terms listed in the
  copyright, but music created with the program belongs to the
  person who created it, and may be released just like music
  created using more traditional musical tools.
  Just my $0.02. For a more thorough discussion of Copyright
  issues, you should consult the Copyright FAQ.
