Cool. OK, so here are the licenses that are acceptable for the 
example-content:

 * GPL, LGPL, BSD, MIT or similar free software license that we already 
commonly use for the software in main an universe

 * Creative Commons with the any of the following clauses: Attribution, 
Share Alike

* Public Domain - though here we need to be careful about checking the 
sources


The obviously unacceptable CC licenses are Non-Commercial and 
No-Derivatives. All the sampling licenses are no-go as well because they 
restrict what you can do with derivatives.

There does seem to be some stuff under acceptable licenses like this 
stuff: http://subatomicglue.com/
