Audio Sample - Sound Cloud

I found this audio by searching "hello world" into Creative Commons.

I embedded the video onto my website from Sound Cloud.

It couldn't find the specific license for this song but I found this in the Terms of Use.

I found this by searching "animated gif" on Creative Commons.

This gif was made by spinning a phenakistoscope.
