# Instrument pack licenses Each pack in this directory is one preset copied without re-encoding from the SoundFont named in manifest.json (`source`). Their licenses follow. ## MuseScore General 0.2 # MuseScore_General.sf2 --- Current version: 0.2 13th May 2020 This is a scaled-down version of **MuseScore_General-HQ.sf2** that replaces some of the larger instruments to save memory and CPU on older PCs. This SoundFont is currently a work-in-progress. Detailed information on presets and sample sources used can be found in "MuseScore_General_Sample_Sources.csv". All instruments without attribution are still using samples from FluidR3Mono.

README --- Fluid (R3) SoundFont Copyright (c) 2000-2002, 2008 Frank Wen I hereby release Fluid under the MIT license, as described in COPYING. Thanks to Toby Smithe for helping to get Fluid included in Ubuntu. This package, of course, is the original Release 3 of Fluid. Fluid was constructed in part from samples found in the public domain that I edited/cleaned/remixed/programmed and largely from recordings of my own and in conjunction with the people below who helped along the way: Suren M. Seron Scott Hanan Steve Aupperle Chris Gillman Alex Taubr Chris Prola Andrew Klenk Winfried Hubbe Dylan Tim Gort Uros Katic Ethan Winer (http://www.ethanwiner.com) It's obviously been a few years since the project, but its nice to see that people are still enjoying my work and getting good use out of it. As always, I'd like to hear some work done with Fluid so email me, or just email me to say hello and tell me what is going on in the computer musician world. Who knows, maybe I'll kick start this project again? ;) COPYING --- Mono version: Copyright (c) 2014-16 Michael Cowgill Copyright (c) 2000-2002, 2008 Frank Wen Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.

This SoundFont bank is provided to the community free of charge. Please feel free to use it in your software projects, and to modify the SoundFont bank or its packaging to suit your needs. ** License of contained samples ** GeneralUser GS inherits the usage rights of the samples contained within, all of which allow full use in music production, including the ability to make profit from musical recordings created with GeneralUser GS. Many of the samples are original, but some were taken from other banks freely (and legally) available on the Internet from various SoundFont websites. Because GeneralUser GS originated as a personal project with no intention for publication, I cannot be 100% sure where all of the samples originated, although I do know that none of them came from commercially published SoundFont packages or sample CDs. Regardless, many "free" SoundFonts available on the web may indeed contain samples of questionable origin. My understanding of the copyrights of all samples is only as good as the information provided by the original sources. If you become aware of any restricted samples being used in GeneralUser GS, please let me know so I can replace them. This uncertainty may concern you if you intend to use GeneralUser GS in a commercial software product. That being said, I have never received any complaint regarding sample ownership since I published the original GeneralUser GS back in 2000, and as far as I am aware, neither have any of the companies creating commercial software products using GeneralUser GS. ** More info ** If you plan to feature GeneralUser GS on your own website, please do not link directly to my download files. Either link to my website, or provide your own local copy instead. I hope you enjoy GeneralUser GS! This SoundFont bank is the product of many years of hard work.
