Hi everyone, at the end of the last week, Mira (the debian maintainer of hydrogen) contacted us and brought up an issue which has been reported at the debian bugtracker: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=858281.
As a short summary, a user found out that the license of the GMKit samples is unclear and that it might be the case that those samples were recorded from a synth, which might limit the use of such samples. A quick inquiry from our side confirmed this. This situation is in my opinion very serious for us and we should look make sure that are default kits are freely distributable. As a consequence, i would like to remove the GMKit from hydrogen. At the moment i don't have an idea how we could replace it. Maybe it would be a an alternative to keep the name GMKit, but replace the samples (for compatibility with older songs). Does anyone know of a kit with a suitable license which might be well suited as a default kit for Hydrogen? It should be small, universally usable and GM-compatible. Another idea would be a new drumkit contest, with an extra price for a new default kit.
