http://www.archive.org/details/opensource_audio works quite well, just
the presentation isn't exactly optimal.

In the jurisdictions I read about, restrictions imposed via copyright or
a comparable construct fall only many, many years after the death of the
author (for example, I think it's 70 years in the US, currently).

In case of unknown author, it seems to be 120 years after creation, in
the US, or 70 years in Germany.

That's the juristic side. Of course, if nobody complains ... but you
should not pull in a 3rd party.
