Some material on YouTube may be under a free licence, e.g. <http://www.youtube.com/fosdemtalks> (though this isn't explicitly stated there). > So what is the reason that clamz can't be in main? There aren't any clearly DFSG-free tracks on the Amazon MP3 store. This may be under CC BY-SA but it's not explicitly stated which licence is used: <http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Commons-Muse-Me/dp/B002FAQTSA/> <http://www.thestrongestwhisper.com/cc.html> "These songs are creative commons protected; they are royalty-free songs. So I encourage musicians to play, record, and sell your performances of these songs, and send me mp3 files of them."
