Probably a stupid idea but still worth the blind shot in my opinion. Couldn't GNOME Foundation board or some other entity contact Google and ask for a GPL/LGPL/whatever licensed version of the sounds Google uses in their various apps including their web chat and Google Talk? It won't cost a penny either for us or for them. Google is known for their support for OpenSource and they already share some of their achievements under permissive licenses.
