Just curious if anyone has a particular opinions on licensing.
For code, I use GPL. Much of Quake-c and the engines I work with are GPL, so it makes sense.
I've been dealing with GPL for a long while and I (mostly) understand it.
I have a new venture where I will be releasing more than code:
Right now, for lack of a major release - like a cool game I have a ton of ideas for,
I'm uploading some of my various elements like models, images, audio and the like.
I dont believe anyone is going to lose their mind over some quake one stuff. So this is mostly good practice.
Thus later when I have more serious elements, everything will be covered.
I checked copyleft licenses and Creative Commons.
My main focus is to provide materials for modders and game makers to modify and use.
Also block any unwanted commercial exploitation and get credit.
The Creative Commons CC-BY-NC-SA seems to provide for that.
There does seem to be some criticism of the NC aspect.
My understanding is that anything under CC can be re-licensed as needed.
Did I miss anything important?
Or put another way:
Later on when I finally have something I can sell, or license, is CC going to be a thorn in my side?
