PentaLatin:Licensing policy

This page is a placeholder. The site's actual copyright/licensing stance has not been decided yet.

Unlike IMSLP, which focuses on public-domain classical repertoire, PentaLatin's catalog (boleros, rancheras, and other 20th-century Latin American popular music) likely includes works still under copyright somewhere. What's actually allowed to be uploaded here — public-domain-only, short fair-use excerpts, full scores with documented rightsholder permission, or some mix depending on the work — is an open question, not yet answered.

Until this is decided

• Do not upload a full score or recording unless you're confident it's in the public domain.
• If you're unsure whether something can be uploaded, ask before uploading rather than after.
• Every file page's {{File infobox}} has a License

 status field — leave it blank (it will show "not yet determined") rather than guessing.

See PentaLatin:Uploading files for the upload workflow itself.
