According to upstream, and the AUTHORS file in orig.tar.gz, the license for
the artwork is as follows:

====== ARTWORK ======

The music was written by THE LIZARD KING

Sound effects:
Copied from an old version of the game Clanbomber
Files: explode.wav whoosh.wav winlevel.wav
License: GPL

I will mention this specifically in the copyright file in the next upload
and I hope this closes this bug. I have soem doubts, though, since the
webpages do not work for me anymore and the old version of clanbomber seems
to have been removed from Debian.
