We're making a little shareware app that we'll be selling for the Mac, and were wondering if we could use some of these sounds, with credit given to the authors. (Not for advertising the product, but for use as interface sounds.) Would this be possible under the license?

't would also be nice if you told the authors about the software, not needed, but I'msure they'd like to know smile
and obviously, yeah, you need to credit them

No, it's a Creative Commons Sampling Plus license.

Please read the legal page here: http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/legal.php
