The MMA requires that you use a registered

Where it is silently assumed that 'educational' and 'development'
implies 'not distributed', or at least 'never used together with
any other app using the same ID'.
If two or more open source programs use 0x7D and they happen to
see the same MIDI stream then one of them will be screwed.
