fine initiative - you could tone it back though - you asked the maintainers to change the license; but that is not possible - the maintainers obviously have no license to use those files - only the original author of the sounds/music could give those files any license

what is needed, is explicit permission from the credited author(s); which is likely impossible because the author published anonymously (on a geocities website 20+ years ago - probably no traces of the original publication or author remain) - the tracker files include the same attribution, in form of a copy right notice from the author (anonymous) - no permission is given - without that, someone would need to make new music for it, find libre replacements (probably any .xm file would suffice), run it silently, or drop the package (it dows not build)

the easiest way to rescue it, is likely to replace or delete those 4 files

the easiest solution o/c, is to drop the package - the latest (python3) version does not build normally - it seems to only run in a "virtualenv" - i dont think we want that

i got it to run as a normal installed program; but it crashed soon into the game - it did not complain about the deleted sound files though

I'm in favour of dropping the package.
