I have attempted to contact the site's administrators at this address:
amazingsounds@xxxxxxxxxx
from which I obtained the sounds, but their email is invalid. However, on their site at:
http://amazingsounds.iespana.es/en/
it states that:
The place where you will find all kinds of WAV files...WAV Sounds for you to download, FREE!! ...
Our content is made basically for multimedia developers or creators that want to use these files ...
Do I still need to get in touch with them somehow or does this notice imply free redistribution of their sounds? I guess when it comes to such things, it becomes a little vague.
Thanks,
Victor.

To be more exact, we're talking about images here, so content not code,
thus you only need a license which allows free (gratis and unlimited)
redistribution of the images with your game. This still means that the
non-commercial clause is unacceptable though. Also where did you get the
sound FX? those need to be properly licensed too.
