Mayo, Sir whatever...
No one accused the built-in library of infringement except you.
Rather, it was our new library we were constructing -- spearheaded at that
time by someone under the alias of "HDD" whom obtained samples under false
pretence. HDD had made the promise to offer accreditation in our library
while also asking for CC0.
This is documented here:
https://github.com/LMMS/samples/issues/15
Any suspicion of violations of built-in samples today was a witch hunt you
started, so this email is superfluous to the project.
Since you've stated you're no longer working on this
<https://github.com/LMMS/lmms/issues/3139>, the rest of the team will focus
on this as time permits.
Best regards,
