Is this the new sound code with the GPL license, or the old sound code
with the more lenient license?

There was a big discussion on the license change, and the consensus
seemed to be to not update the code, since a GPL code in the kernel
makes the kernel non-distributable because of the conflicts between
the GPL "no additional conditions" clause and the BSD "give credit"
clause.
