What's the point of preventing them from being distributable?

What's been put on the Internet once, can be distributed everywhere. There can
be no way to make it technicallly non-distributable.

You can write a clear README file that describes:
-your motivation
-expected way for the downstream to package and distribute game media
-information for future artists working on this music

Whatever you write, it will be treated as a guideline rather than law. Anyway,
I think that the downstream packagers already have a clear idea that some files
are ,,source''. Have you seen any distro installing C++ headers along with
KGoldrunner by default? ;)
