This is illegal you know

all of the following are NON-FREE AND WE CANNOT USE THEM:
Lucasfilms Sound Effects Library
The General Series 6000 (all versions)
Warner Bros. Sound Effects Library
Anything from "The Hollywood Edge"

Reason being: Due to their EULA, we cannot use or otherwise distribute the sounds in any way shape or form unless we purchase them. This would probably require us employing some form of DRM to keep these sounds from being "stolen" due to line "Copy, duplicate, provide access to, sell, lease, loan or give away unsynchronized sounds from the Products by any means including the World Wide Web, streaming audio or any delivery method now known or which shall become known.". I'm not making anything with DRM ever, if we wish to stay legally safe, remove/replace those sounds. Yes, all of these are under the same EULA, aparently one company has a macro monopoly on sound effect copyrights.

Sonnis GDC Free Pack - Free! We can use these!
Reason being: "Everything is royalty-free and commercially usable. No attribution is required and you can use them on an unlimited number of projects." (https://sonniss.com/gameaudiogdc). As this is effectively public domain as the license is so permissive, you can't infringe it. Go ahead with this one.

Ghosthack Sounds - Ultimate Foley Sounds are NON-FREE AND WE CANNOT USE THEM:
reason being: Similar problem as before, "you are not allowed to redistribute or repack our samples and music. Rendering project files and releasing the exact songs as your own original content is not allowed." (https://www.ghosthack.de/faq/#faq-answers). We would need to likely use DRM to prevent "stealing" of sounds as to be legally safe. This assumes we purchase a legal license.
