I agree we'll have to re-evaulate all of this in about six months when
all of the licenses change versions.

However, what about dual-licensed works?  I don't know how far that
will fly, considering protection is more or less conferred upon the
intersection of the two (or more) rather than the union.

I'm an old sound hacker, and I'm a little out of touch, but still
quite aware of the difficulties. Had to throw out a lot of samples
once I realized I couldn't prove RF status on them.
