If there is no license to distribute the sounds, they can't be even in
Debian's non-free section.
If there is permission to distribute them (say, with no modifications
or other restrictions) it is OK for gNewSense to include them under
certain conditions as per the free distro guidelines.
(I don't have time to check this right now, though.)
