Summary:                    No license statemement in the sound tarballs
Description: 
I just packaged the en/es/fr sounds in an rpm
(http://www.provocation.net/rpms/ ) and put "GPL" as the license in lack of
better. Obviously, the GPL works for code, not for sound recordings. No
matter how I search the websites though, I can't find any reference to a
license for the sounds. Strictly speaking, when no explicit license to
redistribute is given, copyright applies and redistribution is forbidden.
This is not a good situation, so perhaps you could add a CC license or
similar to the CREDITS-asterisk-core-<lang>-<version> files.
