Collections being collectable is also something that's been discussed, though once again implementation has lagged behind. Alas, such things are apparently pretty complicated under the hood.
The difference is small and technical; CC-By has a hidden clause qhich restricts the use of CC-By licensed assets in DRM'ed projects. While I detest DRM as much as anyone, it could technically restrict the use of these assets in projects put on Steam or the iOS store or similar venues. I include CC-By as well though because it's more well-known and commonly used.
As cemkalyoncu said, it's to maximize compatibility across different projects. Normally I don't bother with CC-By-SA or the GPL licenses, but in the case of the LPC assets many of the other assets are exclusively SA/GPL so it is necessary. Just choose whichever license best suits your project.
What a refreshingly perfect commission post. Clear direction, exact requirements, and clearly-laid out (and imo good) payment offered. I would take this on if I had the time (grad school :\ ) but for now all I can offer is appreciation for getting this dead right.
My friend has informed me that the email he used exclusively to submit to the LPC has also received spam, so clearly they did get access to some restricted info (if that wasn't already obvious).
I don't know if reports reach anywhere I can see. But I deleted them now.

You're absolutely right, and I believe the feature has been planned for a while. It just isn't in yet.

I'd guess contacting Bart directly (if possible) would be good as well if you haven't tried already.
Alas I've been pretty busy so I haven't been keeping up on things around here at all, but it's definitely in his wheelhouse.

I'm not sure if their opinion necessarily matters. Isn't it only a question of what the license text says and how it is interpreted in court?
Best of luck! I'll see if I can drop into the stream at some point tomorrow (or, I guess, later today).
Ahhhhhhhhhh.
