Hopefully, NASA sends up the morning wakeup call as an OGG (MP3) instead
of playing it over the ratty comm.

Did NASA pay the Beach Boys a royalty for broadcasting their song?

Or, is NASA avoiding the royalty by only broadcasting a portion of the
song?

Or, did the Beach Boys give their permission to play it? It's just good
advertising.

Or, is the wakeup call a don't ask, don't tell, royalty free broadcast;-)
