An Old FL Demo Loop Re-Discovered

I'm a person living on limited disability income and therefore don't have the kind of budget to buy software right and left. I first discovered FL Studio back in 2000 or so when I just began getting back into creating music.

Due to the ups and down of this condition, the creative flow can go away for a long time, then come back. I also have no immediate or medium range plans to do anything commercial.

Back then, there was loop in the then version ? called "Songbird." It was great because it helped me like a practice pad for developing my lead guitar chops in my Korg Trinity (which is still the only hardware I have).

I totally forgot about having had a recording of one of my Songbird "sessions".
Found it recently, and may like to post it at MySpace.

I've included a 43 second segment of the beginning of it:

-- You can hear the original Songbird loop in the first two bars, then my guitar and my own keyboard overlay begins.

--- As the track evolves, one hardly hears Songbird's airy piano anymore, but the simple drum part is still audible.

As the title of this post states, I'm a copyright conscious person. Hell, I'm kind of ethic compulsive.
So here is the Q:

-- Am I allowed to publish this session track at a place like MySpace or at my own website?

No, I don't have a MySpace Band profile and it's a session clip = not anything that would ever be sold as a track or included into any for-sale album.

I just want to add a variety of samples of my own music to the rest of my original work slowly getting there.

_____________________________________

Below is the short clip in mp3 format. Below that is my MySpace page so you can get a sense of it.
The background music at the time of this posting is also original.

And, yes, I've just downloaded a FL demo, but due to the above mentioned constraints, I cannot guarantee I would purchase it.

So this Q is simply about a very old loop of yours and if I can use it as described. The issue of being disabled or not isn't important. I only included it to explain my financial situation.

Copyrights are copyrights. Period. And this can be viewed as request for permission of use.
Thank you.
