The Unlicense is adequate to make it free software we cna use.
"MIT No Attribution" is not the name of a license I know of.

I see.  It woild not be a pronlem to use a simple free linraru for
that.  But maybe it is not necessary.  Will `play-sound' do the job?

That makes sense to me -- it is common practice.
How does the version you use differ from that?
