HdMH> Description : Free patch set for MIDI audio synthesis
HdMH> Freepats is a free patchset suitable for MIDI audio synthesis. It is not
HdMH> complete, nor comprehensive yet, and most, if not all patches are in the
HdMH> old and limited GUS patch format.
HdMH> It is, however, the sole DFSG-compliant patch set in existence so far.
HdMH> New patches (including those in better formats, such as SF2 SoundFont banks)
HdMH> are welcome.
HdMH> The modified GPL has this extra clause:
HdMH> As a special exception, if you create a composition which uses
HdMH> these patches, and mix these patches or unaltered portions of
HdMH> these patches into the composition, these patches do not by
HdMH> themselves cause the resulting composition to be covered by the
HdMH> GNU General Public License. This exception does not however
HdMH> invalidate any other reasons why the document might be covered
HdMH> by the GNU General Public License. If you modify these patches,
HdMH> you may extend this exception to your version of the patches,
HdMH> but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do so,
HdMH> delete this exception statement from your version.
