This uncertainty may concern you if you intend to use GeneralUser GS in a commercial software product. If you become aware of any restricted samples being used in GeneralUser GS, please let me know so I can replace them. My understanding of the copyrights of all samples is only as good as the information provided by the original sources. Regardless, many “free” SoundFonts available on the web may indeed contain samples of questionable origin. Because GeneralUser GS originated as a personal project with no intention for publication, I cannot be 100% sure where all of the samples originated, although I do know that none of them came from commercially published SoundFont packages or sample CDs. Many of the samples are original, but some were taken from other banks freely (and legally) available on the Internet from various SoundFont websites. GeneralUser GS inherits the usage rights of the samples contained within, all of which allow full use in music production, including the ability to make profit from musical recordings created with GeneralUser GS. Please feel free to use it in your software projects, and to modify the SoundFont bank or its packaging to suit your needs. This SoundFont bank is provided to the community free of charge. You may use GeneralUser GS without restriction for your own music creation, private or commercial. It’s very flexible and does not require attribution or private-use only:
