This is true.
Anyway, as I've stated in the past, it's generally unwise to include CC-BY-SA material in a product that's not share-alike in general, because in the case of games, it's fairly ambiguous what you consider to be a "work." You'd have a case in court that the whole game constitutes a work, and most publishers would prefer to avoid being sued. To really avoid something like this, you would have to distribute the board completely separately, which would be more trouble than it's worth.
My point, though, is that if Toeholds doesn't want to distribute the whole map in high res under CC-BY-SA, it would still be good to get it in wallpaper size. Also, maybe he could cut it into wallpaper-sized images by contintent, too.
I'm not sure how high reoslution that print is, but if it's really printable at 9 by 6 feet, it must be pretty huge. Even if it's 9 by 6 inches, at 300dpi that's higher than most people would need. I'd venture to say that it's bigger than someone would want if they were going to put it into a computer game. Just downscale it to wallpaper resolution (or twice that or whatever) and license the downscaled version CC-BY-SA, and keep the NC license on the original.
NC-licensed works can't be distributed alongside of Free (as in speech) software due to the fact that they prevent you from selling the work commercially. CC-BY-SA provides a similar (albeit imperfect) protection from commercial exploitation by forcing the distributor to give your work away for free if they are selling it.
I may be interested in sponsoring this. Is there an IRC channel where we can have a live conversation?
Thanks!

Very nice work. :)
Thanks :)
That tree is definitely my best pixel work to date.
Forbidden file format? What were you uploading? If it's something that's DRM-free, I'd be willing to consider accepting whatever format it is.
I modified it. I should probably post an updated midi.

Thanks, and sorry about the confusion. :)

P.S. I deleted the older of the two submissions because it looked like a duplicate.
