We have a question about the default songs for the guitar-simulation
game Frets On Fire.  (We would like to get the songs into main if
possible; otherwise, into contrib or non-free.  But we need to satisfy
the Finnish music licensing organization Teosto.  The full original
thread is at http://bugs.debian.org/383316 ; the most important
message of that thread is http://bugs.debian.org/383316#95 .)

The question follows:

Hi,

We finally got in touch with the Teosto lawyer, and he informed us that
unfortunately the game's music can't be distributed with a CC license.
The problem is while the songs can freely be distributed with the game,
they can't be distributed or otherwise used independently of the game
without a specific license from Teosto. I wonder if we could draft a
license that would fulfill this condition?
