I'm trying to find some sound fonts/patch file sets to use with
programs like Timidity and to figure out what licenses they're
available under. Of course, there's the freepats collection (
http://freepats.zenvoid.org/ ). freepats-20060219.tar.bz2 has GNU
GPLv2 license. Am also looking for other collections with Free
licenses. I ran across timidity_tiny at
http://edge.beemulated.net/utils/index.php which looks really
interesting because it's lightweight. However, was unable to find a
license with it. Tracked earlier copies of the files down to
KDEMultimedia's kmidi which says the license on kmidi is GPLv2 or
later. With further checking, I found out many of the files were from
timidity_wow_samples.zip, timidity_drums_samples.zip,
timidity_base_samples.zip. One sample was from propats 3 collection.
Not finding much on licensing for any of those files. Does anyone
have suggestions for lightweight (or other) instrument
collections/patch files/soundfonts with Free licenses? Thanks.

Musescore has a very lightweight additional package with a 6Mb soundfont, it's GM:
$ apt-cache show musescore-soundfont-gm
Package: musescore-soundfont-gm
[...]
Description-en: Small GM SoundFont for MuseScore (TimGM6mb)$ apt-cache show musescore-soundfont-gm
Package: musescore-soundfont-gm
[...]
This is a GM SoundFont, for use with any modern MIDI synthesiser: hardware
(like the emu10k1 sound card), or software (like FluidSynth).
.
This package provides the larger GM sound set, without the Roland Sound
Canvas extensions.
