Hello Ian,
I'm the current maintainer of the open-source SoundFont synthesizer
FluidSynth. We are currently using your VintageDreamsWaves-v2.sf2 for
unit testing, as we found it small and useful.
We would like to convert this SoundFont to SoundFont3 (an unofficial
extension to SF2 which stores the individual samples as OGG/Vorbis
compressed stream, rather than PCM).
However, your copyright notice doesn't allow your SoundFont to be
converted to other formats:
https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth/blob/master/sf2/COPYRIGHT.txt
May I ask for your explicit permission to convert your font to SF3 and
place it into our public Git repository? Apart from the lossy Vorbis
compression, your SoundFont would not be modified further.
No matter how you decide, thanks for your work!
Regards
Tom

Hi Tom,
Great to hear from you, and thanks for reaching out regarding the SoundFont license.
Your unofficial SoundFont 3 project sounds very interesting, and glad you could get use out of the Vintage Dreams Waves.
You are welcome to convert it to the SoundFont 3 format.
Please let me know how it all works out.
Regards
Ian
