CC-BY-SA 3.0 is a free license AFAIK, but CC-BY-ND 3.0 clearly is not.
And the license for the Soundsnap files

    Soundsnap's licence allows all use, commercial and non-commercial, as long as you
    do not "Resell or distribute the sounds 'as they are'. For example, you cannot download
    and sell them as part of a CD library."

does not seem to allow distribution at all.
