if you wanted to use my (unique) works in another game, you would just have to assume that the devs hold the copyright to those maps, which isn't true.
License for ac_cavern: https://github.com/assaultcube/AC/blob/m...cavern.cfg
License for ac_iceroad: https://github.com/assaultcube/AC/blob/m...ceroad.cfg
License for ac_swamp: https://github.com/assaultcube/AC/blob/m..._swamp.cfg
As you can see undead, your licenses are in the package - if you have any problems, please PM me (the following maps don't have a license and therefore must be assumed copyright: ac_desert2, ac_desert3, ac_elevation, ac_gothic, ac_power, ac_scaffold, ac_shine, ac_snow, ac_sunset, ac_urban).
As to AC having license hell, as you put it, this form of licensing allows us to adapt materials from others to create AC, rather than spend time making all of the materials ourselves.
As previously mentioned, there is a license that covers distributing the entire AssaultCube package as an unmodified whole. If you wish to dissect it, you'll need to either:
(a) Find the license file within AssaultCube (if there is one) that is specific to the file you want to dissect and then adhere to that license file.
(b) Find the original author of that file and ask them for permission.

That doesn't, at any point, state whether a file is or is not copyright. There is nothing within the AssaultCube package that says you may dissect the voicecom sounds, thus you must assume they are copyright.
Pretty sure though, based on the usage that you're looking for, makkE would give his blessing, so yes please contact him to see if he would give it.
