I don't see why this should be a big issue. Any "assets" distributed with LMMS just need to be specifically mentioned in a license somewhere. I would hope that sample banks, patch banks, demo songs et al. are in fact actually licensed from the creators for distribution with LMMS... The best situation would be for all "assets" to be CC of some kind; that's the most appropriate and flexible license for "created things". As I mentioned in my reply to that post, NOBODY on Earth under any law which I'm even vaguely aware of, allows the programmers/developers/publishers/sellers of ANY software to hold any rights whatsoever to works created with software tools designed for such purpose.
