Would it be at all possible for "Vim" to publicly state their approval
of licensing "Boom_boom_boom.ogg" under the CC-BY-SA 4.0 license (by
replying directly to this bug report / upstream github issue / forum
thread at [1])? Unfortunately their last public statement in [1]
imposes a not-for-profit condition on using their work, which violates
DFSG#6.

Does ftpmaster or anyone else in the Debian Games team have any
thoughts about this issue? I think a public statement from the
original composer of the track in question would be sufficient (unless
"Vim" has a gpg key tied to their identity, which doesn't seem to be
the case), unless anyone has any objections? I don't think we can
reasonably expect more proof from upstream that this file is
DFSG-compatible.

Regards,
Vincent
