Sorry, I think I'm looking for something else license wise. I don't mind 
if the sounds are used commercially (since Ubuntu can be used 
commercially), but I am looking to safeguard against someone taking 
these sounds and selling them to make a profit. I imagine the same is 
true for Ubuntu, no? No one can take copies of Ubuntu and sell them to 
keep the profits?
