Vote B.

Thank you Martin for getting this done, and freeing more music to less restrictive licensing, that's good for the world. But I don't think we should reimburse for things that weren't approved before hand. I realize that's process, but I do believe it is important process.

Taking my board member hat off, personally, I'll throw my name into the mix and split it thirds with Martin and Ryan. Thanks again Martin for making this happen.

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!
