Forty-one releases from the Internet Archive's\nnetlabel collections under CC0, CC BY and CC BY-SA, listed in full after this section: each row links the archive item it came from and names the licence recorded on that item, and the licence instruments are spelled out, deed by deed, above the tables. Two rows read \"creator not stated\nin the record,\" because an invented artist name in a credits list would be the worst possible\nbug. One netlabel's name contains an expletive; it is the legally correct attribution string\nand it is printed as recorded. The model: ACE-Step 1.5 (MIT — its row on our\n[licence ledger](/licences/)); its model card asks that AI involvement be disclosed, and every\nclip on this page is AI-generated and says so. The trainer: [Side-Step](https://github.com/koda-dernet/Side-Step), the corrected-timestep LoRA trainer vendored in ACE-Step\n1.5; its upstream licence is CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, though the vendored copy says it follows\nACE-Step's MIT — we proceed on the stricter reading, and wrote to ask. The coherence\ninstrument: LAION's CLAP — the `laion_clap` package at 1.1.7 and the `lukewys/laion_clap`\ncheckpoint host that carries the music weights the bench ran on; the licence file on disk\nreads CC0 1.0 for the code and the checkpoint repository declares the same, though the\npackage's own index metadata says Apache 2.0 — both permissive, nothing turns on it.\n\nAnd beneath all of it, the open tools this work stood on without modifying: PyTorch and\ntorchaudio, Hugging Face's PEFT library, NumPy, FFmpeg — which decoded every training file, cut\nevery crop and measured every loudness figure — and the Internet Archive, which carried all\nforty-one releases and every licence record we read, fetched under a user agent that names us\nand says how to reach us: `strata2signal-research/1.0 (private research; contact via\nstrata2signal.com)`. None of them owed us anything. A small team and a fleet of AI agents did\nthe work; the humans signed the numbers — [how that works](/how-we-work/) is next door.\n\n**The licence instruments.** Each label in the tables stands for the deed at the address\nbeside it; the items record each address with an http or https scheme, and the dedication\nappears under both, which is why ten spellings cover nine deeds.\n\n| label | deed |\n|---|---|\n| CC0 | [creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/](https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/) |\n| BY 1.0 | [creativecommons.org/licenses/by/1.0/](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/1.0/) |\n| BY 3.0 | [creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/) |\n| BY 4.0 | [creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) |\n| BY-SA 2.5 | [creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/) |\n| BY-SA 3.0 | [creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/) |\n| BY-SA 3.0 CH | [creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ch/](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ch/) |\n| BY-SA 3.0 US | [creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/us/](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/us/) |\n| BY-SA 4.0 | [creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/) |\n\nEach release's identifier links to its archive item.\n\n**CC0 — nine releases, nothing owed, credited anyway.**\n\n| release | creator | files | archive item | notes |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| RW-Techordings presents [RWT-012] 30-hcir & Bertha James - Split One | Richard Wilmer | 2 | [30-hcir-berthaJamesSplit-RWT-012](https://archive.org/details/30-hcir-berthaJamesSplit-RWT-012) | in the corpus |\n| Black Saturday | ArchivOne | 1 | [archivone-black-saturday](https://archive.org/details/archivone-black-saturday) | in the corpus |\n| Flourish // Perish | Braids | 10 | [braids-flurish-perish](https://archive.org/details/braids-flurish-perish) | in the corpus |\n| RW-Techordings presents [RWT-010] ElectRICHual - Predictable (Mixes) | ElectRICHual | 2 | [ElectRICHual-Predictable-Mixes](https://archive.org/details/ElectRICHual-Predictable-Mixes) | in the corpus |\n| Hardware Techno | David Murillo Diaz | 24 | [hardware-techno](https://archive.org/details/hardware-techno) | in the corpus |\n| In Novation | Kλпξiðλ | 1 | [in-novation](https://archive.org/details/in-novation) | in the corpus |\n| knolios_moments | knolios | 6 | [knolios_moments](https://archive.org/details/knolios_moments) | in the corpus |\n| Mr.Dee_D1 | Mr.Dee | 3 | [Mr.Dee_D1](https://archive.org/details/Mr.Dee_D1) | in the corpus |\n| Dawn | Shinji Wakasa | 12 | [shinji-wakasa-dawn](https://archive.org/details/shinji-wakasa-dawn) | in the corpus |\n\n**CC BY — nine releases, attribution required.**\n\n| release | creator | licence | files | archive item | notes |\n|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| Aaron Goldbody Vs.
