Were the current default songs for RnD and Mirror Magic included with permission from the composers?

Don't worry, this is not a complaint post! I am simply wondering.
I'm interested in making my own tutorial level for RnD that covers everything absent in Niko Bohm and Aaron Davidson's tutorials (white keys, androids, gems slipping off of flat walls, etc.) and include a new "soundtrack" made of obscure, abandoned .mod tunes.
Before I do so, though, I'd like to know whether the songs featured in Rocks'n'Diamonds and Mirror Magic were just pulled off of the internet and credited or if permission was acquired from the composers beforehand. I could just include some of the .mod songs from here that do not have information on who composed them so that I will not have to go through the trouble of asking for permission to use the songs (they are very old, after all, and I'm not sure how the original composers would be reachable anymore), but I suppose if RnD did not ask permission before using its current tracks then I may as well feel free to use what I want as long as it is not too recent and I give credit when possible. I just want to make sure my tutorial would comply with whatever the current standards are for included music.
