It would be very interesting to see how many lawyers could spot what was
composed/made on Csound and what wasn't. I suppose it would have to have
that Csound kind of 'smell' about it.

	But that's the beauty of Csound. There is no Csound "smell" or
"sound." An instrument can be implemented in just about any environment,
and other than directly asking the composer what environment a sound was
created in, there is no way of telling.
