From Mosc on E-M:
"If anyone wants to specify that they choose not to contribute even one
cent to electro-music. com, then please do that when you order your
panel.
There is no royalty, or tax. There is only a request for a voluntary
donation, a contribution to support the site which which has made the
Klee possible.
There is no shake down, no fleecing, no coercion, no pressure, no tax,
and there is no resentment if you can not for whatever reason help out.
Sduck, I contacted Mr. Bridechamber and informed him that the designers
of the Klee Sequencer wanted to give the design and the rights to
electro-music. com in order to make it available to the community, and
to provide financial support the site. It is sort of an endowment gift.
I think it only fair that if someone wants to make a derivative product
of the Klee Sequencer, they do so in the spirit of those whose ideas
and hard work made the Klee possible. There is nothing fishy here, just
integrity and generosity."
{end quote}
There was nothing about voluntary in the beginning, but I'm glad it
came to this. It's a classic case of the lines between words and
intentions and interpretations being slippery (mixing metaphors is such
fun). I certainly didn't intend drama. I'm a drama-phobe!
I'll provide an easy link on the Klee panel page when they're
available, for ease of contribution. E-M _is_ awesome. If I didn't have
the biz, a baby and school I'd actually keep up on all those fun
posts!!!!
