GPL is designed for functional works, but I also see music and music
creation as functional, not just as expressive artistic works.

It's not exactly clear what a CC license is. Saying just Creative
Commons is not enough. It might be non commercial and it might be non
derivative.

When you use the GPL for your music, you have to provide every element
of the work available. This is not the case with any of the CC
licenses, and therefor, not sufficient for how I want to interact with
music that I like.

Truly free music lets me play with music not possible in any other
way.
