My goals for 2019 onward and posting music on Newgrounds are pretty simple.

1. All licensing information up front so people know if they can or cannot use it.
2. Song Specifics like tempo.
3. Tools and effects used.

Newgrounds will automatically display CC 3.0 but I'm a pretty big fan of the CC BY 4.0 license.

You can read up on it here:

And here's a comparison of what's new in the 4.0 License that previous versions do not have.
