LMMS Sample license

[mrlmmsguy]

I'm basically wondering if I can mess with some of them and redistribute them (which a lot of places WON"T let you do). Thanks!

I have edited your text so it pinpoint the actual issue.
No you cant redistribute the samples from any free software, and why should you? If you want to give someone the LMMS samples, just ask them to dl LMMS.
Someone will properly disagree with this, but that is their provocative, and i only let you know how things are from my perspective, in Denmark.
Rule of thumb:
Never redistribute someone else' material as your own, or even with references to the OC. Just dont.

I wasn't actually planning on copping the whole sample library and just saying, "Hey everybody, look at all these great samples I've got!" I was going to modify a few of them (in a glitchy fashion) and release them for general use. Is there and issue with that?

legal stuff is difficult, though. I wont say either ya or ne.
But if you modify a sound- Will it be even recognizable as what it was? At what moment have YOU changed something 'enough' for that 'thing' not to be the 'thing' it was?
An artist can take an everyday item, like a chair, splash some paint on it, and give it a few slashes with an axe -Then the thing 'chair' suddenly is 'art', and the artist can sell it, even though someone owned the design of the 'chair-thing' ..
I cant tell you how much paint and axe you need to use on a sample, before its a new thing :p
