Kevin Fishburne has posted some public domain sound effects, with a promise of more to come. This first set includes eight variants of footsteps in shallow water.

Sanctimonia is an open source massively multiplayer online role playing game in the spirit of Ultima.
Additional info/clarification: I recorded and edited these myself, so from the horse’s mouth they are truly public domain (use for any purpose, including commercial, without restriction including even giving credit to me).
Why isn’t everyone who creates something more like you?
I’m not especially creative, but when I make something I think everyone should be able to freely enjoy it. If I made a bucket of spaghetti, for instance, come on over and have some. A pizza, a sandcastle, a doodle, a video of me acting like a lunatic set to some song I like… Why not?
I think people have this defensive instinct that seems to kick in when considering a license under which to release a work. Of course if your primary income is earned through that work you’ll need a more restrictive license to avoid the poor house. I plan to use a “coin-op” type model for the game where you pay a fee to create a new player after dying, so there’s really no reason for me not to share art assets.
But yeah, people should definitely share more. Especially BUCKETS OF SPAGHETTI, haha.
