Freedom Issue #288
Hydrogen allow to install non-free drumkits
100%
Description
I wanna try to talk with you about a possible solution for this issue.
Hydrogen is a free (as in speech) software but it allow the installation of non-free drumkits from the official drumkit repositories mantained by Hydrogen community.
My proposal is: can we re-build Hydrogen as hydrogen-libre and point the drumkits repo url to a parabola repo with only free licensed drumkits?

I found drumkits folder, but i need to know the licenses about it to remove non-free files from them.

If you install Hydrogen you can see the drumkits license from Instruments -> Import Library interface.

hydrogen-libre was released with only free drumkits by default. if you have a current ".hydrogen" with custom settings, you should change url from http://www.hydrogen-music.org/feeds/drumkit_list.php to http://repo.parabolagnulinux.org/other/hydrogen-libre/feeds/drumkit_list.php in serverlist section on hydrogen.conf or in the hydrogen program. Another way is remove your current .hydrogen folder.

Just one thing: every time when hydrogen-libre will be updated or periodically, please check in http://www.hydrogen-music.org/feeds/drumkit_list.php if there are new libre drumkits to add in http://repo.parabolagnulinux.org/other/hydrogen-libre/feeds/drumkit_list.php
Thanks!

if such drum kits aren't under CC BY NC or a Copyright license, they don't need to be take out of the package.
