Woa, fluid relicensed under an MIT license, that is great news! You know I
spend *days* mailing with soundfont authors to even find one that is freely
re-distributable (albeit not free), so that we could atleast have midi playback
functionality in Fedora.
Anyways about the gus patches, *a* set of gus patches is needed for (older)
timidity derived midi playing code, as found in libtimidity, allegro and
SDL_mixer to be able to play midi. timidity itself now can also handle sf2
files.
Given that all those which need gus patches explictly require
PersonalCopy-Lite's gus patches, and that those do a decent job (sf2 to gus
format conversion is not perfect, as the feature sets of the 2 formats are not
a 100% match), I see no use in having a gus version of the fluid font, esp.
given the huge package size this will cause.
