Bug#773246: hydrogen-drumkits: DFSG-ness of the drumkits

Package: hydrogen-drumkits
Version: 0.9.3.20070703-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

I can't find information about the licensing of the
drumkits. 'debian/copyright' says it's BSD-licensed, but the upstream
tarball doesn't contain licensing information ; the original upstream
URL now redirects to Hydrogen's homepage, and I can't find the
individual drumkits in upstream's sourceforge download area.

Chief concern is the presence of Roland and Yamaha drumkits which
according to their drumkit.xml files are direct recordings of
individual samples straight from the equipment -- which sounds pretty
risky to use in a DFSG environment, unless that's explicitely
permitted by the manufacturer.

Do you have more copyright and licensing information about these
drumkits?

Cheers!
Sylvain
