Extra considerations:
The following license file can be found in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers. Its validity is unknown due to its long-expired copyright. But honestly, so many songs already use the default MIDI anyways just from using MIDI OUT, I highly doubt anyone will chase you down over it.

Not mines. I founded the original sf3 file of this soundfont from Musescore’s article on how to install soundfonts on a computer. I then, converted the soundfont from sf3 to sf2 with only using Polyphone. Inside the zip file is the original sf3 file and the converted sf2 file. Original soundfont made by Frank Wen.
