for src/include/dsound.h I expect it shouldn't be ship in this release. Instead
win32 users will need to download this file separely.
for src/include/soundcard.h, This file explicitely prevent modification. As such
we cannot allow this. But there is another soundcard.h (licensed as GPLv2 only)
that can be downloaded from http://www.4front-tech.com/developer/sources/stable/
There is others license available, but I think linux support will need the GPLv2
version. 
So i think there is two solutions: 
- repack the sources with soundcard.h Gplv2 version (and remove
src/include/dsound.h will be needed anyhow). 
- Or disable OSS support with the filed removed.
Fedora doesn't use OSS anyway (only emulated from alsa), so if needed, it could
be possible to have a replacement version (in _libdir/stk-oss ). My guess is
that ABI compatibility will be preserved in the dependent applications (but
maybe i'm wrong).
For the ski,mid file, it would be fine to have the respective authors to be
aware of providing a free license (Creative commons?) when they are provided
within FOSS. Not all files have an Author but there is at least:
///YEM: Rights to all derivative electronic formats reserved.
in projects/examples/scores/bachfugue.ski
If unsure, they can still be removed... 

Anyway it would be nice to ask upstream for advices on each cases.
