You are absolutely right in wanting to sure of permission before posting it here. The sound data is contained in 7KAA's package within the \data\resource\ folder, in the a_wave1.res and a_wave2.res files.
The source package's readme reads:
"This is a GPL release of the Seven Kingdoms: Ancient Adversaries thanks to Enlight Software which granted the ability to license the game under a free and open source license in 2009. See the file "COPYING" for the details of the license.
[...]
What is missing from the open source version of the game --------- * The original game music. The music is provided by 7kfans, but separately from the source tree. It is not under the GPL license, but it is free to download and use with 7KAA. * The original game intro video. Support may be restored in future releases. * Any other content from original game CDs, game manual, including the version 2.12b game binary or older. This also includes the I*Magic Online service."
Well, the sounds are included in the open-source package (in the exact same manner as the graphics), so it seems clear to me that the license also applies to those sounds.
IIRC Patreon said that the hackers hadn't gotten any financial data, but rather personal data like emails and passwords. This sort of stuff is bad, but I suppose it has the potential to happen to any web service - what really disappointed me was the retention of data even from accounts supposedly deleted. I'm not sure I trust Patreon anymore after that.
This may have something to do with the Patreon hack, in which a lot of their customer data was obtained by the hackers... naturally people will be more afraid to use their money in that site given that that happened. Specially since "deleted" accounts hadn't really been deleted as promised, and their data was compromised as well.
You're a legend! Thank you for your hard work on Wesnoth! :)
Very nice :)
I think CC-BY-NC is what you're looking for. The GPL allows commercial purpose. CC0 without commercial purposes isn't the CC0 anymore.
I know this sort of stuff can be bothersome, but it is important to have accurate licensing. Thanks for contributing to OGA!

The game's sound effects also seem to have been open-sourced, it would be nice to post them on OpenGameArt as well :)
If commercial use isn't allowed, then you have chosen the wrong licenses - the CC0 and CC-BY 3.0 both allow commercial use.
Nice :) You can see more icons in a similar style in my other submissions.
And it would be cool if you put up a link to your screenshots/videos of your game so we could check it out!
