There are a couple of samplepacks on f.e. archive.org that are under
creative common license.
I think to be sure, a separate team should review all samples and, if
unsure, replace the samples by creative common samples.
Those samples could be offered as a separate sample pack like pgib said
incl. a short documentation on the licenses.
OR if someone wants to publish his music, he could search own samples under
creative commons.
Nobody is forced to use the lmms samples.
