Hi Tobias,
My name is Aaron Lovelace and I am working on a project involving LMMS, as
you have discovered. I understand you have been in touch with the developer
who I have working on the project.

First of all, I want to say thank you for making such an awesome piece of
software. I am a musician (not amazing, but I play for fun anyway) and have
been using it a lot in the past few weeks since I discovered it... it is
extremely addictive!

As for my project, I was planning to use a re-branded version of LMMS as
part of a product I am developing. Here are the details:

I was originally planning to sell hip-hop beat and instrumental production
tutorials (video screencasts) by themselves, but thought that offering a
fully-featured sequencing system as part of the package would make the offer
more attractive to beginners. I would like to re-brand LMMS as "Beat Machine
Pro" as I think it is a name that is more marketable to the hip hop crowd.

I don't plan on violating the GPL license and will make the source available
for download. One question about this though: Does the source need to be
available to anyone who visits the website, or can it be available just to
customers? I can go either way, but I would appreciate the clarification.

Please let me know if you have comments or questions. Thanks for your help!

Best,

Aaron Lovelace
