"I, Tom Lehrer, and the Tom Lehrer Trust 2007, hereby grant the following
permissions:
All copyrights to lyrics or music written or composed by me have been
relinquished, and therefore such songs are now in the public domain. All of my
songs that have never been copyrighted, having been available for free for so
long, are now also in the public domain.
The latter includes all lyrics which I have written to music by others,
although the music to such parodies, if copyrighted by their composers, are of
course not included without permission of their copyright owners. The
translated songs on this website may be found on YouTube in their original
languages.
Performing and recording rights to all of my songs are included in this
permission. Translation rights are also included.
In particular, permission is hereby granted to anyone to set any of these
lyrics to their own music, or to set any of this music to their own lyrics, and
to publish or perform their parodies or distortions of these songs without
payment or fear of legal action.
Some recording, movie, and television rights to songs written by me are merely
licensed non-exclusively by me to recording, movie, or TV companies. All such
rights are now released herewith and therefore do not require any permission
from me or from Maelstrom Music, which is merely me in another hat, nor from
the recording, movie, or TV companies involved.
In short, I no longer retain any rights to any of my songs.
So help yourselves, and don’t send me any money."
