@cemkalyoncu: Are you sure about this? The FAQ (here: http://opengameart.org/content/faq ) say about CCSA: "[...]you will be required to distribute the source code, and your users will be allowed to distribute it as well."
And the sum-up of the CCSA license (here: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ ) says "If you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may distribute the resulting work only under the same or similar license to this one."
Is "include a graphic in a game" not a case of "build upon this work"? It seemed to be so obviously the case to me, that it didn´t even occur to me that it might not be. I tried to google this, but this seems far from clear, there seems to be an ongoing discussion. Is there any definite information about this?
First of all, my greatest respect wulax, these are amazing artworks, especially the animations. Thank you for sharing them!
About the licences: Do I understand this correctly - if I were to use these graphics in a game, I would be obliged to publish the source code of said game?
My reason for asking is, I am working on a game right now, in my spare time. Though I very much doubt it will ever be published (not to even mention earn money), I would like to know: Is there any chance of aquiring your graphics for use in a closed-source product?
