these are indeed licensed under the "GPL" (GPL-2+)

it seems that these consist of sounds sampled from some hardware
drummachines, where the copyright of the sounds (most likely) resides
with the manufacturer of the boxes (mostly Roland).
as such they are probably not *free* to distribute and use for "any"
purpose (it might be possible to use them for some purposes, i don't
know); very much like a number of other "official" drumkits based on
hardware boxes like the MC-307, DR-110,...).


there are still some more drumkits where i haven't found any information
on the actual licenses.

* "Drumkit excepcionel" (Pedro Maurício)
says "creative commons", but not which variant thereof.

* "Lightning1024" (Esteban Mariano Romanelli)
says "Free!!!". what does that mean? public domain? CC-SA-3.0? GPL?

* "Deathmetal (sf)" (Archman)
says "CC-Attribution", but which version of CC-BY? CC-BY-4.0?

* "Erny's percussions (sf)" (Erny)
no license information at all

* "K-27" (Wolke)
no license information at all.
(but I guess that "Wolke" is Michael Wolkstein, whose kits say "Do not
redistribute or publish the inluded samples.")


ideas?
maybe you can help me getting in contact with the authors (i haven't
found any contact information whatsoever)
