I have been speaking to Kandashi and Anathema on the Foundry Discord.
They have both specifically mentioned that HLC is well known for allowing copyright material to be used without purchasing it - Anathema even said that it is very easy to find these files with a simple google search (I couldn't find any). Thus they don't want to list any modules which interact directly with HLC files.
Anathema who has the role of "Project Coordinator - Foundry Virtual Tabletop" said "If I recall at the time of investigation it was possible to wholesale acquire databases of copyright infringing material for a variety of publisher content for HL Classic with very simple Google searches"
