I have been working on open source mmorpg's for a number of years now, on my current project we are 2 years in and we dont even have a fully working game yet, as such 20,000 is nowhere near what a mmorpg would take to make, they are the most expensive of all games typically costing upwords of 10 million.
That said if you have an idea for a good unique game and the idea doesnt require the massiveness of a standard mmorpg it -MAY- be possible
Wait so brave isnt a good ol Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grim lion king isnt based on Kimba the White Lion finding nemo had nothing to do with Pierrot Le Poisson Clown etc etc
One thing I do have to say is frankly I can understand where the companies are comming from that fired the people, they just cant have an employee that is hurting the company on staff. That said I dont think it is -right- its just purely a matter of what other real choice do they have.
Code-License = I allow these licenses when the art is used. This is not the same as licensing the art under these licenses which is invalid! It's actually wrapping the code-license into an custom-asset-license that unfolds the code-license. It's meta-licensing.
This may work its a bit more complex tho legally then it sounds ill have a chat with bart about it.
The issues with most open source liscenese is that they dont make much sence when applied to art, that being said if there is a liscense you think really should be here we can look into adding it.

I wouldnt bet on it however.

creative commons did something like this called founders copyright but they discontinued the program.
in all fairness we dont know if the peoplw who was fired was in trouble for other stuff or whatnot, we love fire and pitchforks on the interwebs
OGA has a semi-large amount of custom code for various things on the site such as the art challenge, site customisations and atr collections.
