If some MP3-file is downloaded from MP3.com, that artist get some money. If that file is then distributed on P2P-systems, that artist can't get money. So, if redistribution is not explicitly allowed by that certain artist, you'd better not redistribute those MP3s in any way. There is some fineprint under every artist page in MP3.com.

Ash is really good Bourne Shell clone and POSIX-shell implementation. I really
like to use it for my shell-scripting, because it prevents me from using
bashisms. In my Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 Potato/bin/sh is actually a symlink to
ash that I compiled from sources I took from unstable Debian and it works.
But if/bin/sh is symlink to bash and you have some bashisms in you script that
starts "#!/bin/sh", it seems, that even in that case bash won't complain
about those bashisms.
But you must check out, which version of ash you are running. Debian has always
used the latest version of ash. I think it is downloaded from this place:

What you definitely need is tmpreaper. Here is part of its copyright-file in my Debian:
This package was originally an `alien', debianized by the alien
program by converting the RPMS Package `tmpwatch-1.2' on Thu, 13 Nov
1997 02:16:28 -0800.
It bears a GNU Public Licence, which you will find in
"/usr/doc/copyright/GPL".
Please read the changelog.
The original `tmpwatch-1.2' was downloaded from ftp.redhat.com by
karlheg@inetarena.com.
Thank You, Erik Troan. This program was sorely needed. We always
appreciate the things you provide for the Linux community. I could
not have even begun to write a program like this one from scratch.
Without the initial program to build on, it would not have been
possible. I've learned a lot from this experience.
karlheg: Sun, Dec 7, 1997:
I am renaming this program from `tmpwatch' to `tmpreaper' to split
away from RedHat, who released a `tmpwatch-1.4' with RedHat v5.0 that
had zero of the patches I sent for `1.2-1.4'.

According to readme.txt that comes w/ those sources:
All of the Quake data files remain copyrighted and licensed under the original terms, so you cannot redistribute data from the original game, but if you do a true total conversion, you can create a standalone game based on this code.
I will see about having the license changed on the shareware episode of quake to allow it to be duplicated more freely (for linux distributions, for example), but I can't give a timeframe for it. You can still download one of the original quake demos and use that data with the code, but there are restrictions on the redistribution of the demo data.
BTW when I tried to see http://www.fsf.org/, this happened:

It seems that RMS and Co. has downloaded that source code and some free total conversion, compiled them and started playing with in FSF's server.:-)
