Where did I get this piano soundfont from?

It's been years since I've posted here! I'm just getting back to finding some time for music in my life.

I have an old soundfont with the rather long file name:

renamed_SF2 ZSF SoundFonts shared by ZSF - Piano Acoustic UOI 2.0.512.sf2.

Google searches are failing me. I've been away from making music for so long that I don't remember anything about where I got this. I probably downloaded this somewhere about 15 - 20 years ago! I always tried to obtain everything legally but I suspect this is some unauthorized copy of a commercial product. Anyone know anything about it?

The funny thing is that I really like this 397 MB soundfont way better than my old Native Instruments Akoustik Piano. Something about Akoustik Piano just doesn't sound right to me - too much attack, not enough warmth and sustain?

So while I'm looking for the origin of this mysterious soundfont I'd like to look for similar pianos. Maybe the same folks who made this one have other commercial products available for me to check out.

They seem to come from here (no more online)

It's said that they are legal.
