You weren't listed in your mail-followup-to header, but I CCed you
anyway. Hmmm, I guess I should have CCed you at the start, sorry about
that (the BTS doesn't automatically send mail to the submitter).

As far as I can tell, with a quick glance at the summary, both of
these licenses should be OK as far as Debian is concerned.

I assume that the "Share Alike" clause wouldn't affect music created
with these files, as that seems to be the desired outcome.
