The best option is to use loops and programs that allow you to use their content license free in your original works no matter what the application.

In most of the world, as soon as content is recorded it is copyrighted. There is no mechanism for the author of a work to extinguish the copyright that automatically attaches. Consequently, there is no way that anyone can allow you to use their copyrighted content "license free." If they say that you can use it, that statement is itself a license.

 
That's what I meant when I said "license free".  I use Band in a Box for much of the music I create...at least some of their tracks. The license from PG says that I can use the samples and content created by it's program in any project for any reason without further license requirements. Cakewalk does the same with it's loops and samples.

Publishers and libraries require that the composer own 100% of the rights. They rely on the writer to have obtained or naturally possess those rights. Using PG products & Cakewalk loops and synths and samples assures me that's a done deal.

Perhaps there is some confusion as to 'license free' and 'royalty free'. Yes, there is a copyright on any artistic work that is created but if you purchase royalty free content then it most often means you can use it anywhere without additional royalties being paid (in any form). That would preclude needing to add source content disclaimers. Royalty Free would also eliminate the open source type licensing restrictions.

Steve would like his country to become Royalty Free.
