OVERVIEW OF LICENSING TERMS FOR GENERAL MIDI TIMBRES
The file entitled FATV10.BNK, and it's derivative OPL2.BNK,
contain the information that defines General MIDI timbres
(piano sound, trumpet sound, etc.) for the Yamaha chip in your
sound card. All timbres in both FATV10.BNK and OPL2.BNK are
Copyright (c) 1993, The Fat Man, and administered by Fat Labs,
Inc. You may use these timbres in your product provided that
you:

box shipped, but a one-time, nominal charge to make our
contract binding),

your paper documentation,
3) send us a copy of your finished product, and
4) be sure that all software that is distributed by you and
that contains the timbres (FATV10.BNK and OPL2.BNK) also
contains this notice and our contract (README3.TXT and
GENMID-V.TXT) in software and paper documentation. This is
meant to cover products such as SDK's and OEM drivers that
will encourage the incorporation of FATV10.BNK and OPL2.BNK
into other products. End products, such as games, that do
not invidte further distribution of FATV10.BNK and OPL2.BNK
need not include the .TXT files.
