hi, i'm contacting you, because you are the author of a couple of hydrogen drumkits (i hope this is the correct email address - i assembled it during a longish google research session; if not, please ignore this email and sorry for the inconvenience).
i'm involved with the packaging of "hydrogen-drumkits" for the Debian/GNU linux distribution (as part of the "pkg-multimedia-maintainers", CCed). Debian as a project is committed to deliver "free" (as in speech) software and data to our users. whenever you install something from Debian, you can be sure that you are free to use this in any possible way. for this to work, we (the Debian project) go to great lengths to ensure that the license of any software or data permits such use. according to [1], you are the author of a number of "official" drumkits for hydrogen. we would like to include those drumkits into the Debian package, however it is unclear under which license your kits may be distributed. while the RSS-feed provides a <license> field, this field is left blank for all the drumkits provided by you. i would therefore like to ask you to clarify the license situation of the drumkits. it also appears to me, that some of the kits contain samples recorder by other people, and/or samples that might be taken "directly" from digital samplers (and thus be copyrighted by the companies producing those samplers). so could you please tell us under which license terms each of your drumkits may be (re)distributed (if at all)? attached is a list of the drumkits i am talking about (and the URLs were one should be able to retrieve them). thanks for your attention. i would love to hear from you. fgmasdr IOhannes [1] http://www.hydrogen-music.org/feeds/drumkit_list.php
