Ignatian Spirituality in Music (ISM) Collection
© Ruth Scherer Leacock

One-Year Free Use License 2.0

There are no fees for the 2.0 license. Subsequent available licenses may require a fee.

Section 1--Permissions Granted

The author has protected your right to use the Ignatian Spirituality in Music Collection by copyrighting the ISM Collection and offering a one-year free-use license. When you receive this License, you have permission to:

  1. Make printed copies of the sheet music. (See Section 2)
  2. Distribute and use the printed copies with your congregation or small group. You may NOT electronically publish the music yourself, but you may establish links to the Ignatian Spirituality In Music web site.
  3. Perform the music gratis.
  4. Make minor modifications to the sheet music of the ISM collection. (See Section 3).

This License is intended to guarantee your freedom to do the above and make sure that others can do so as well. If you distribute printed copies of the ISM Collection, you may charge a copying fee, but you may NOT charge for the music itself.

Section 2--Copyright & License Notices

You may distribute and use verbatim printed copies of the ISM collection (or parts of it) with your congregation or small group provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish:

  • The copyright notice already on each song, as well as:
  • "Used with permission. License #[your license]. See www.leacock.com/music."
Section 3--Modification Notices and Rules

In order to improve the music, you are encouraged to experiment with the ISM Collection, make minor changes and convey this feedback to the author. Please note:

  • If you make changes to any part of the ISM collection and pass them on, the recipients should know that what they have is not the original version. Distributed copies with alterations must carry a notice stating that you made modest changes to the music and the date of the change.
  • Minor changes means alterations that do not substantially alter the meaning or feel of the work. For example: minor changes in harmony, chording, dynamics, or lyrics.
  • Minor changes sent to the author for feedback, may be incorporated into the ISM collection and become the property of the original author.
  • If you would like to make substantial changes to, or collaborate on, any part of the ISM Collection, please contact the author.
Section 4--Accepting this License

You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you the permissions described in Section One. These permissions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by making printed copies, by distributing them, by using them, by performing the work, or by modestly altering the ISM Collection you indicate your acceptance of this License and all its terms and conditions.

If you violate the terms of this agreement, you automatically terminate your rights under this License.

Activities other than copying, distributing, using, performing, and making minor alterations are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope and reserved by the author.
