I think it should be optional. Just added a bunch of tags to submission of Hyptosis' art not realizing it was going to do that. It's a good idea to do that with the license but IMO it probaly shouldn't do that just for tags.
Ok, will pass that info to Hyptosis and see if he is interested in any derivatives of his work also being freely licensed. I personally perfer CC-BY-SA for my art work because if a derivative is obviously better then mine, I would like to use the upgrade on my game too.
Edit: Silly me... I didn't notice till just now.. but if you look at one of the pages where he posted his art http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/hyptosis/tile-art-batch-1 you'll see the [Licensing Terms] on the left, click on the "Commons Deed" link and you'll see (CC-BY 3.0)
Thanks surt, I'm still learning what each license means. If somebody could explain the difference between CC-BY and CC-BY-SA I would love to know! Thanks in advance.
"Yeah man, all I want is credit. Anyone can use these for anything. Thanks!

I've been looking through Hyptosis's new tiles comparing them to the ones already saved on OGA and there is more then 50% more new stuff. There's a lot of new cool stuff. Here's an example :-]
I drew the wick burning and learned how to make animation in Gimp :D
Anyways, from the last reply from him a better license would be the same license I've been using, CC-BY-SA, because of requiring attribution. I like being credited and he would too so that license is better. Thanks Bart for teaching me about the licenses.
Do you guys think I should bother him again to clarify that if he wants to require attribution to go with CC-BY-SA or just be nice to get attribution with CCO. He says "all I want is credit" so that means CC-BY-SA right?
I PM Hyptosis through newgrounds and here's what he said,

I saw somebody mention on OpenGameArt.org you were making all these tiles free for the public. Since OGA is strict on having a license on the art we were hoping you would be ok putting all these Public Domain (CCO). Which is the best license I've came to realize if you want the art used by as many games as possible. I wouldn't mind submitting it to OGA if your too busy to do it yourself.
Best Regards, Zabin
He didn't specify CCO but seeing that all if his art on OGA is licensed CCO I'm sure thats what he wants.
Hey Danimal, if you take the honors on submitting his art to OGA I think it would be nice to include his minor request,
"I'd prefer some minor percentage of ad revenue as a royalty for use, but it isn't required. I really enjoy making this kind of art, I hate to see it go to waste hiding away on my storage drives."-Hyptosis
I like it, and yes more please :-]
Sweet, good job. I'm looking forward to killing this boss in Valyria Tear :D

Sorry for being lazy with the tags. Just added a bunch more.
Yeah I overlooked the license info also, thus bothered Hyptosis a couple times trying to figure it out.
I'll upload ASAP, since I'm on satallite internet I might not have good enough service during the day and might not get it submitted until 11 tonight.

It'll be my pleasure to upload them. I'm going to wait until I get him to say "CCO" before uploading them so no-one has any doubts.
