Hi, To follow-up: My personal favorite is Millo MultiLayered2. It's a bit more comprehensive than GMKit, it has roughly the same layout as GMKit (it can play demo songs out-of-the-box), is properly licensed, and sounds good to me. On the downside, it sounds quite different than GMKit. GMKit has fairly "universal" timbre, wheread Millo has strong "vintage" vibe.
Another idea that I come up with is Kickstarter campaign to create new/buy existing sample library. I'm fairly sceptical about that, however.
