[amsat-bb] Use of "veronica" beacons on wikipedia

I recorded some very high quality beacons for AO-95, and was hoping to
put them in wiki commons for inclusion on the AO-95 wikipedia page.
However before doing so you are warned about copyrighted material and
I realize that uploading that recording is likely no different than
uploading anybody else's musical or spoken word work.

I also took a screen grab of the waterfall showing the characteristic
"fox tail", which I believe is free and clear - and I checked the
AMSAT website regarding copyrighted material and it only mentions
audio used on the AMSAT website (I think).

Anyhoo, can I get written permission to post beacon recordings to wiki
commons (wikipedia)?   Do I need to go through the website form (it
doesn't really to "work" for recorded audio, only images) If not, no
biggie.

Happy Thanksgiving, all!
