internet-redstar writes: An independent musician has released a full-length album inspired by Linux, GNU, and Free Software culture, making all tracks available directly from the project website under a Creative Commons CC-BY license.
The album can be downloaded in open formats including FLAC, MP3, and Opus, and is explicitly intended to be reused for talks, videos, streams, and remixes with attribution.
"Free by Design" will appear on major streaming platforms at the start of FOSDEM, but it was intentionally released first outside of closed platforms to encourage direct access and reuse.

Who's doing the vocals?
I'm really wondering if they used AI to create this...

The lyrics and compositions are mine.
Some production tools (including Linux AI-assisted ones) were used in the process, but the intent and authorship are fully human.
The album is released under CC-BY specifically so people can reuse, remix, and even critique it, tooling is less important to me than openness and reusability. If AI assistance disqualifies work, we should probably also revisit compilers, DAWs, and digital cameras. ;)
