Contribution to Extras (Re: sounds)

[Victor Skovorodnikov]

Hi all,
 
 I have attempted to contact the site's administrators at this address:
 
 amazingsounds at iespana.es 
 
 from which I obtained the sounds, but their email is invalid.  However, on their site at:
 
 http://amazingsounds.iespana.es/en/  
 
 it states that:
 
 The                  place where you will find all kinds of WAV files...WAV Sounds for you to download, FREE!! ...
 
                                                                   Our                  content is made basically for multimedia developers or creators                  that want to use these files ...
 
 
 Do I still need to get in touch with them somehow or does this notice imply free redistribution of their sounds?  I guess when it comes to such things, it becomes a little vague.
 
 Thanks,
 Victor.

To be more exact, we're talking about images here, so content not code, 
thus you only need a license which allows free (gratis and unlimited) 
redistribution of the images with your game. This still means that the 
non-commercial clause is unacceptable though. Also where did you get the 
sound FX? those need to be properly licensed too.

Regards,

Hans
