Bug#383316: FoF package for Debian

We finally got in touch with the Teosto lawyer, and he informed us that
unfortunately the game's music can't be distributed with a CC license.
The problem is while the songs can freely be distributed with the game,
they can't be distributed or otherwise used independently of the game
without a specific license from Teosto. I wonder if we could draft a
license that would fulfill this condition?
Sami and friends, thank you for your persistence in these legal matter
and in contacting Teosto. I will ask debian-legal.
Miriam, do you agree it would be a good idea to upload:
* a fretsonfire package,
* and another package with two or three Debian-Free songs packaged for
fretsonfire
into unstable for now? Frets on Fire is a popular game (the current
Windows FOF installer has been downloaded more than 230,000 times[1])
and it'd be good to get it into Debian even before this issue is
resolved. :-)
Cheers,
Jason
