I vote A for this given the special circumstances.

I'm also not comfortable with the after-the-fact reimbursement votes. That said, I'm still going to put forth a similar one regarding reimbursing Ryan for the gift to Bryce, but I don't foresee it being something I will get on board with again moving forward.

Cheers,
Josh

Hey folks. This is just a quickie ask to reimburse Martin for footing the music license fee for our current release video. This is a one-time cost, and not setting any precedent for future video costs, or otherwise.

Those in the video discussion on GitLab wanted a more permissive license for the new video music which would allow us to upload it with the video assets, so they can be used freely under CC-BY-SA. The decision was made in haste because the author of the music is going on holiday and needs the money now, and our release is only days away.

There are lots of things we can do to prevent this in the future, but that's quite beside the point imho. This is an accidental cost that was covered by Martin, and I think it's not too much of a one-off ask to pay him back for it.

Please vote:
A. Reimburse 91 Euros to Martin for paying for a FOSS-friendly license for the current video music track for the project's benefit.
B. Don't reimburse.

Note: In the future we will be using exclusively CC-BY-SA or better from the beginning since we discovered that CC-BY-ND doesn't work for remixing or uploading to gitlab.

Thanks!
