fx-mixer, effects chain copyright ?

[rigning]

hello all !!

this isn't so much of a problem, but more of a question about lmms. i've been using lmms quite some time to make music, and i pretty much always tend to use the effects chain in the fx-mixer window.

i noticed though that some of the effects have a little descriptions, and included in them are things like name, file, maker, and copyright. i was wondering, is it wrong for me to use these effects since it seems they're copyrighted under someone ? do i need to give credit for something ?

i assumed that all things included in lmms would be free to use for anything really, including commercially, so if someone could explain that'd be great ~

If you're talking about the effects, that come bundled with Lmms, you can use them freely in your songs
made with Lmms, to your hearts content.

No you may use everything, but you may not redistribute
What this mean:
Don't relicense anything from lmms library as your own

So you are allowed to USE everything, but NOT allowed to make a zipped folder like "CoolStuffIFound" and distribute parts of the package in any fashion.
The license is GPL2
This question has been asked many times for the samples, but i believe its a first for the effects :'p
