Is CC-non-commerial music usable in game?

I found some interesting music remix in ccmixter.org, such as this:

Is the Creative Common non-commercial license compatible with TMW?

No, not really. The GPL explicitly allows commercial use.

I think Its preferable to have player made content, the less we take from 3rd parties the better :!:

All official content of TMW is licensed under the GPL. Thus we can not accept any content which may not be used commercially.
  • former Manasource Programmer
  • former TMW Pixel artist
  • NOT a game master

Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.


You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

Sounds suspiciously too familiar to me and yes, silly enough of a matter, but legal issues bind us from using CC-nc. Which sometimes is sad.
This message used to be meaningful.

No. It was designed for software, but can be used for anything.
