Hi

In all vicidial installation, the file sound 0001_conf.gsm is always in, and it's the default sound for MOH.
Can I use this ? Who has copyright for this music ?
We receive call from France, and the SCPA (Société Civile des Producteurs Associés) says that we can't play this sound in MOH without their agreement ! So can someone confirm it's totally free, and give me a link that confirm it ?
This is the original version of the sound according to SCPA : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoX6ZTUd3Vo and it's not free.

Thanks for your help.
Mike

It's the same piece by the same composer, but that is NOT the same recording. The conf.gsm file comes from Digium and was actually included in all versions of Asterisk as a default sound up until Asteirsk 1.8. It is royalty free around the world.

Also, you can send them this link to a kickstarter that was funded 3 years ago and has made recordings like this and other Chopin recordings royalty free for everyone around the world:
