Hah! Well, the analog loophole is analogous to the difference between open-licensed and fair-use. People could use many assets under fair-use, but that doesn't make them openly-licensed. Yes, you could do that, but submitting such things on OGA would get a raised eyebrow from me. :)
The Flecktarn ones (#4, #5), as well as the Tigerstripe (#2) are most likely subject to the Berne convention under German and Republic of Viet Nam governments, respectively. The "tundra" variant of the ERDL pattern (#3) may be public domain, but I'll have to do some more research. I haven't seen #1 or #6 before, but they look like Mil-tec proprietary. Sorry. :/
Some are trademarked, yes. For example "Realtree" has a trademarked camo pattern. Most generic ones are not trademarked, but it depends on what you consider "generic". Do you know the clothing brand in the images? If they're official US military fatigues, it still depends because the newer gear is commissioned by a private clothing firm that may have a trademark on the pattern. I should be able to give a better answer after seeing the picture, though.
I see evidence of forum RSS feeds in the site backend, but nothing for submissions. Since the art submission component of the site is custom to OGA, there is not really a prepackaged RSS/Atom plugin for it. I'm sure it's possible, but it would need to be coded custom as well. We'll have to keep that in mind if/when we get the site code open to collaborative development. :)
I would love that! Though, a custom app would need to be a community collaborative endeavor. DeviantArt has an official app mostly because of their nearly $22,000,000.00 USD ad revenue. Since OGA is completely free for users and free of advertising, the site has ~$6000 anually. which is almost entirely dedicated to servers and hosting.
What is this about "the API" people are referencing? Is there an established drupal API? If not, an API would need to be developed alongside the app or mobile version of the site. I'm for it. Working on getting the site code made available on github. :)
@VinnNo.0: well, for the CC0 license it is sufficient, but from what I understand the jam needs credits as if it were essentially CC-BY. That probably doesn't mean you need to do much more than what you've indicated, but I'm guessing it should at least have a URL listed or credits.txt referenced in it so people can find the asset page it came from.
EDIT: maybe I'm overthinking it:
"3) You must credit the Author of the assets used, even if it's not required by the license. (Because this is nice thing to do)"
I assume that means props are sufficient(?) for cc0, though I guess you still could include a URL or credits.txt reference "because this is a nice thing to do". :)
Yes, you may use LPC assets in a commercial project so long as you do the following:
subscribed.
... and bumped.
Yeah, looks like it. Sorry.

Ah. I see. I was mostly referring to DA's ability to afford the development costs of a custom app.
If the features of an app are predomenantly about compact layout, it may be more efficient to create a mobile version of OGA rather than an app.

@Joth: Good idea. Basically identical to suggestion #14 above.
