You should not use any part of that animation. Study it, learn from it, be inspired by it, but don't use it. Make your own animation from scratch or find something comparable here on OGA (all assets here allow derivatives).
Every scenario you describe would make your creation a derivative of the original. Taking any part of another asset and changing it or using it as a base or guide is considered deriving art.
That isn't necessarily bad. Some assets are licensed to allow people to make derivatives as long as you give credit to the original artist. So the question is "what is that asset licensed under?"
If it's from a commercial game, in all likelihood derivatives are NOT allowed. Where is that animation from? Who owns the copyright?
The BipCot NoGov is not a license accepted on OpenGameArt. Would you be willing to go with the license you submitted it under instead? (CC-BY 3.0) Or indicate it is dual licensed with CC-BY 3.0 in the Copyright/Attribution instructions?
As you said, it's a moot point, but I think my confusion was stemming from the link going to an .mp3 download, not a .FLAC download. Thanks again for the share!
That's very considerate, but as an administrator and contributor to part of those hosting costs, I can assure you the highly-editable FLAC files are well worth the additional file size (pretty insignificant in the grand scheme of things.)
I'm sure people would appreciate having both the ogg and the flac available here. The link you provided still doesn't appear to be a FLAC file.
Those collections may continue to experience this issue because submissions with licensing issues continue to be added to them. Licensing issues are periodically removed from the archive when it is determined no legal solution will be forthcoming. This results in your collections containing references to removed content. I recommend avoiding the addition of assets marked with a licensing issue. When I can, I'll pre-emptively remove references in your collections before unpublishing the asset.

I'm not seeing the FLAC file at the link you provided. Also, why not just have the FLAC available here, too?
