Yes, I've sniffed & posted in IMSLP's site now -- enough to see
that my "public-domain-like status" fears were misconceived,
and to appreciate the gist of licenses being offered.  I tend to

           Attribution + Non-commercial + No Derivatives

would do me just fine (provided I can overcome the guilt from
refusing to offer my works up as programmers' fodder  :)  ).
