GDC sounds are not free

The #GAMEAUDIOGDC BUNDLE LICENSING AGREEMENT may look free and very close to public domain at first glance (“unlimited number of projects for the entirety of their life time”, “may use and modify the licensed sound effects for personal and commercial projects without attribution to the original creator”, “may publicly perform a reproduction of the sound effects over any form of medium”…) but a clause make it non-free and incompatible with Unvanquished open source development. The problematic clause is:

This right does not extend to supplying the sound effects themselves whether as files or as the output of a device or service, where the sound effects rather than a project of the Licensee’s are what is being supplied.

This clause forbid us to host the sound files in public Git repositories like we do. For example such link would be illegal if it was a GDC sample: https://github.com/UnvanquishedAssets/res-legacy_src.dpkdir/blob/master/sound/player/level4/taunt.flac

A safe source for compatible sounds is Freesound with CC-By and CC0 filter:
