Depends on the legal jurisdiction -- which, of course, is not
particularly well-founded for internet sites.  The new ACTA treaty
might say something about this; I can't remember.

In my non-expert (I am not a lawyer) opinion, the current except on
the German page would contravene Canadian copyright law.  (if Canadian
copyright law would apply to somebody viewing a webpage written in
German, which is probably hosted on a server in the US, while in the
UK)


I honestly don't know why people tempt fate like this -- I mean,
Patrick's fibonacci is beautiful!  If you like the colours from the
Stockhausen except, well, those are easy to add to Patrick's piece.n
Throw in some cross-staff beams, and you're done.  And he's already
put the work in the public domain, so there's no problems making those
modifications!
