If people want to go that far, I'd suggest they point their usual music
player at the data dir, and disable music in the main client.

A (short) fast tempo one would be nice to play near the end of a turn.

Additionally a hopeful mood one might be nice, something for the
beginning of the game, when people are taking there first steps into
this wonderous new universe of plunder, er I mean universe of promis.

Otherwise:
 - Battle music is cool
 - Bustling music mid game when trading and resources are travelling all
over the place, but we haven't hit the end game destruction yet.

I can think of more if you like.

Be a week before I get TP coding time again however.  Watch this space.

Not quite that simple.  Personal decoding is not chased down, propietry
playback can be.

It's entirely your call.

Indeed.  The CC angle was important as a lot of people put things in CC
without really realising what it means.

You can always take the licence, and remove that clause ;-)

Not directly, but I can get advice on licences easily enough.
