I've had a few more thoughts on the matter. If "core" wants the music and the only question is licensing, maybe core and you could agree on a custom license which allows anyone to copy it unmodified (which must include being copied as a single file from any web site) or including it unmodified in a compilation or other derivative work (eg, FreeBSD), but not if that work consists predominately of music. It would be easier if you could just allow all uses in unmodified form (I think there's such a CCL), and better if you could allow generic translations of digital format. OTOH, I'm guessing core could find someone to donate some music under a BSD-type license, without a lot of effort. Or get some non-proprietary music off an out-of-copyright record or movie which is probably on the web somewhere already.
