well I have got about 40gb of sounds from a friend that has the libs.
However I have seen and bought several libraries of sfx that are royalty free.
the authentic sfx packs are royalty free, and I have several imporial
and other 10 dollar royalty free sfx disks.
So if the sounds are royalty free then they probably are usable
anywhere or at least you don't have to pay back the devs.
Free sound libs like those at the site www.recordist.com although
this is a small lib these are free.
I know the a1 sfx site is free and if you search findsounds.com you
can probably find some sfx libs that are free.

Hi tom.
Hmmm, I assumed that once a sound library was perchiced by an
individual it was practically there's to use.
I find myself continually amazed at how restrictive copywrite law
is. I've mentioned myself how it has practically stopped people in
England getting hold of books for a considderable time, but if a
philanthropic action like that I proposed essentially ment for the
purposes of sharing would be considdered a breach of law, I find
that practically insane!
It seems that laws intended simply to insure an individuals' right
to recieve creddit for his/her own creative work have, ----
unsurprisingly given the general nastiness of unregulated
capitalism, morphed into just another tool for extracting the
maximal amount of prophit from any enterprise.
Getting back to my idea though, my thought was that all developers
who wished to be involved club together as a group for this purpose,
and the actual buying and administration of donations is done by a third party.
So, the sounds would be licensed to "the developement resources
collective" (or whatever the heck we called it), who's members would
included Thomas ward, Phil Vlasac, Che martin etc, but the actual
buying of the license would be the responsability of the
administrator, ---- whoever that would be.
i'd hope that would get around the evil capitalist evil.
Beware the grue!
