[Foundation-l] Wikipedia songs

[oscar van dillen]

being a composer, i will give it a go this week at writing an original
specially for the purpose, which i will then upload and release under a free
license (which ones do you recommend in this case erik?)

*does it have to have a text, or can it also be just nice music?
*in case of a text, which one is preferred?
*how long should it be?

of course i will take care to produce a quality which plays back nicely on
"phone-audio quality" ;-)

all the best,
oscar
