Rein published their first album in 2005, Un'altra estate ("another summer"), and signed with an independent record label from Rome, but eventually terminated the contract at the end of the same year.^[1] With the support of the Free Hardware Foundation they published at the end of 2005 the EP Est! ("East!") with the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives license and the Diffusion Authorization from the FHF,^[2] which allow, combined with another license, the free public performance of the music for non-commercial purposes.^[3] All music from Rein is published in Jamendo with a free license.^[4]
