Hmm,

I'm afraid you're right, that 500 Mb tarbal included the music now (it didn't 
with the previous release), and the music has an interesting licensing scheme, 
which I'll mail spot about. The other content is all GPL

The good news is that with the music removed, the rest is "only" 320 Mb, and 
the music can and should be packaged separately if it can be packaged at all.

Regards,

Hans
