Given what I know about the music licensing business, and the fact that FIRST hasn't shared the background music already (or maybe it's planned for the DLC Pack 3?), maybe FIRST isn't licensed to share that material. Let's say, for instance, I buy a song on Pond5 or similar music/sound service. I am allowed to incorporate that sound into a work for distribution, but I am not allowed to make that sound generally available to the world - otherwise, Pond5 wouldn't be able to make any money on that sound from that point on (why would I buy from Pond5 when I can just grab that sound from FIRST?). So they limit the licensing on their music to prevent losing their rights to it.
At least, that's what I ran up against on a couple projects I worked on. I don't know if licensing has changed since then, but I doubt it.
