Music from Wolfram Tones?

Hello, friends! I’m a newbie here, but I thought I might be able to share a useful idea.

As far as I can tell, using Wolfram Tones to create music for your game is within the rules (as long as you don’t sell your game, which might go against Wolfram’s terms of service.) Since I have no musical talent, I will probably generate music for my game that way when the time comes.

So do all you non-musical LD participants know about this already? Is there a better version out there that I’m not aware of? Or is this against the rules somehow?

Edit: Thanks for the tips, everyone! :)

It isn’t against the rules. Btw., is selling a game with music generated from Wolfram Tones infringing any copyrights? I mean, Wolfram doesn’t have rights to all cellular automata, does it? Licensing Wolfram Tones algorithm in a game would be a problem, but I think that any generated content is user’s alone. This is, however, only my opinion.

There’s no issue as far as the rules are concerned as far as I know. However, the terms of service for Wolfram Tones state :

I really wish we could export music from INudge, I like tonematrix sound but there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to grab it.
