Re: licensing of sounds within KDE

[John-Paul Stanford]

Hi,

I've recently add a new game called bomber that uses sound. The game can be found in playground.

Their is currenly a sound sample of a bomb explosion. I found it on
www.freesound.org were they are all licensed under the "Creative Commons"
license.

My understanding of the license on the site is that we are free to use sounds as long as it's not modified and you credit the author of the sound. The site gives info on the use of sounds at:

http://www.freesound.org/rules.php

and

http://www.freesound.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1541

Just wanted to bring this up and see if it's ok to it use samples as I'm still quite new to these kind of things.

Cheers,

JP.

PS. I'm not on this mailing list, but I'll try to monitor the archives.

Creative Commons Sampling Plus 1.0 would not be acceptable for KDE.  Create Commons licences cause problems generally, notably with Debian, but this paticular one has restrictions on commercial use which means it would be unusable to many of our users.  It's also an obsolete licence that CC no longer recommend anyway.

Ok, I'll remove the sound sample over the next few days. It's a shame, but I don't want to limit things.

Don't suppose anyone knows of another free source of sound samples?

I use this site for my free sounds, the quality is high so it takes long to download but totally worth it.
