Dear Jeroen,
thanks for your prompt answer !
Debian has a special emphasis on software freedom, but even for other
projects, a non-commercial license like the CC-4-BY-NC-ND can be
problematic. For instance, a Linux CD image containing your package can
not be sold, a freelancer can not organise a paid course in which the
mp3 file of your package would be used in a way or another, etc. Thus,
a Free replacement of the mp3 file would be very useful.
Have a nice day,
Charles
