In the LICENSE file, the version numbers of some of the mentioned CC licenses is missing.
Thankfully, this information can be found by going to the original freesound.org sound page.
But I think it's still better to add the missing version number to the LICENSE file.

Thanks for reading.

I would add that giving the file name would be better too ; in particular all the CC-BY-NC licensed-file are a problem for Debian, so I have a hard time updating the package (I need to find replacements...).

I am going to document exactly what is wrong with the license info, and which is correct:

  • xdecor_boiling_water.ogg is actually CC BY 3.0
  • xdecor_enchanting.ogg is actually CC BY-NC 4.0 (which is non-free)
  • "BSD" as a license name is ambigious. Refer to it as the "3-clause BSD License" or "Modified BSD License".
  • The license for the Modified BSD License text mentions University of California as copyright holder, both in the title and the license text itself (Wikipedia documents a generic license text).

Note: I currently maintain a libre fork of xdecor at https://codeberg.org/Wuzzy/xdecor-libre. This fork also has the license file cleaned up.
