Hi,
As mentioned by others, it would be good to coordinate such a effort with other people, including other free software projects even.
Happy to discuss it more in details on IRC #musescore on
freenode.net, here on the mailing list or on the forum.
About the license, I assume we are currently talking about the samples and not necessarily their organisation as a SFZ or SF2 for now.
CC-BY is compatible with GPL but I'm not sure it's the best license for a sample library. If we imagine that CC-BY samples are used for the rendition of a score, I believe (please correct me if you think I'm wrong) that the creator of the MP3 would have to attribute the creator of the samples. It's nice but it's not convenient. With the current default setup of MuseScore (GPLv2+fontexception[1]+MIT FluidMono soundfont), one can create a score in PDF or audio form without any license restriction at all, including the right to not attribute MuseScore. It would be great if it could stay the same.
CC0 is the best choice if we don't want to limit the usage of the samples. The OSI disapproval and patent exception[2] mentioned on MuseScore forum on another topic[3] doesn't apply here.
