Any content is also "source"-code at the same time. It's a matter of
use-case. It's essentially the same thing as fonts, images etc. In this
case it's "audio artworks."
In this case, their license doen't allow reusing their sources outside
of their framework => their "art work" is non-free,
=> package must not be in Fedora.
