+Hydrogen drumkits for Debian
+============================
+
+Hydrogen curates a list of official drumkits, which users can download and use.
+Drumkits in this list have various licenses, some are free to use for any
+purpose, while others have a non-commercial clause or other restrictions.
+
+This Debian package (hydrogen-drumkits) contains only drumkits that meet the
+criteria of the Debian Free Software Guidelines [DFSG], and can be used for any
+purpose ("Free as in speech").
+
+If you want to use one of the other (non-packaged, non-DFSG-free) drumkits, you
+can download and install them from within 'hydrogen'.
+
+ 1. start 'hydrogen'
+ 2. In the menu, navigate to 'Instruments' -> 'Import library'
+ 3. Select the official drumkit feed from the pull down menu.
+    If it is not there, you can add it via the "Edit server list":
+       http://www.hydrogen-music.org/feeds/drumkit_list.php
+ 4. Click on "Update list" to refresh the available drumkits
+ 5. Select the drumkit you like an click on "Download and install"
+
+When installing drumkits, make sure that you comply to the drumkits' license.
+E.g. if the license forbids commercial use, don't use it to create songs you
+want to distribute commercially.
+
+Many drumkits in the official list use sounds recorded directly from hardware
+drum machines, where the hardware manufacturer most likely has the copyright of
+the drum samples.
+Even if the drumkits are licensed under a free-ish license, make sure that you
+actually have the rights to use these samples (e.g. because you own such a
+hardware).
