Hmmm, not much info there.....Downloaded from where?...and how do you really 
know it is "copyright free"?

This list is great, and it is one thing to share and post your own creations 
or instruments that you sampled yourself. But re-distributing stuff that you 
aren't sure of the origin or that you didn't create or record your self is 
dicey and can land you in lots of trouble. Just because you can download it 
and there's no copyright notice on it doesn't mean it is legal. Quite a bit 
of the stuff on all these soundfont sites is stolen, illegal stuff BTW.

This isn't an accusation of Sascha, as I know he's usually pretty careful 
about this, but many times trading original samples can quickly and 
unintentionally turn into trading illegal stuff. Since alot of pros are on 
this list, I bring this issue up as something to be very careful about.
