I dont have this kind of hardware.

Yes, I think... I will ask Richard Stallman, this is the license:

"The firmware files (*.ihx) are copyrighted by Midiman, and can be used
and redistributed only as part of this package.

All other files are distributed under the following license:

Is this a free software license? Or: is this free software?


"can be used and redistributed only as part of this package" make it non-free?


Thanks Richard...
