I am making a video game. Most of the art is from oga under cc-by. The game engine I am using for it compresses all of the assets into a zip file. I have heard cc-by + drm don't mix, so I am wondering if compressing the assets into a zip file would count as drm?
IANAL, but I doubt it. The "human readable" CC-BY 3.0 says that you may not apply legal or technological measures that legally restrict others from doing anything the license permits. Since there are many freely available zip tools, you are not restricting anyone from anything. It may be different if they use a proprietary archiving format which requires non-freely licensed software to access.
