What is Open Music?
Open Music is music that is shareable, available in "source code" form, allows derivative works and is free of cost for non-commercial use. It is the concept of "open source" computer software applied to music.Magnatune Open Music is one of the general responses to the RIAA's and governmental actions against the music industry and its consumers.
"Open Music" can be considered a subset of "free music" (referring to freedom). The differences of philosophy between advocates of "open source software" and "free software" have not surfaced in the community of musicians contributing music to the copyleft commons. This may be due to the relatively recent emergence of copyleft music, as well as to the fact that software development generally involves much more collaboration and derivatization than does music production. It is not clear that open collaboration using copyleft licenses provides any significant advantages in music production, as open source advocates commonly argue is the case for software development.
Several websites have surfaced to provide musicians with the platform and tools necessary for online music collaboration. Most of these sites promote one or more of the Creative Commons licenses, allowing derivative works and sharing of the finished songs. Early implementations of these collaboration sites relied on threaded discussion forum software and FTP to provide a means for musicians to initiate and discuss projects, and to share multi-track files. More recent and modern sites provide robust project-management features, automatic encoding and compression, online playback streaming, web-based upload and download options, chat, and project-based discussion forums.

Excellent info, thanks for sharing all of this in one convenient spot! I first got involved with open music in 2001 when I launched the Open Music Registry, within a few hours of the EFF publishing their Open Audio License. (This was before the launch of Creative Commons.) A lot has happened since then to really improve the open music scene. BTW, you might be interested in my Giving Creative Works Away (Under License) lens.
