Editing PickiPedia:Release Types (section)

==Permanent Releases==
Permanent Releases are releases licensed by the recording artist or their representative with any Creative Commons-compatible license.  The release doesn't need to be paired with a specific CC license; a plain-english description of the license such as the one used by [[Sam Grisman Project]] is acceptable.

Permanent Releases are eligible for, and permissionlessly compatible with, [[Rabbithole]], [[Revealer]], and [[Chartifacts]].  We suggest that Chartifacts releases meet one of the following criteria:

* A release compatible with CC0, CC-BY, or CC-BY-SA, '''or'''
* A DRM-free embeddable format is provided directly and cryptographically signed by the artist or their representative

We also suggest that all permanent releases be uploaded to long-standing archives in the bluegrass tradition, such as archive.org, and distributed in a high-quality lossless audio format such as [[FLAC]] via decentralized services such as [[Bit Torrent]] and [[IPFS]].
