Posted: 26 Mar 2020, 12:16While I think that CC intentionally focuses on the freedom of the product and not the sources, I can see what you have in mind. Maybe time to get some legal help and make such a license?

Posted: 26 Mar 2020, 15:23What's wrong with using (A)GPL for assets?
GPL3 {l Wrote}:1. Source Code.
The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
form of a work.

Posted: 26 Mar 2020, 16:02I seem to remember that GPL wasn't advised for artwork, but I forgot the details.
One point that I see is for those who use the "CC-By" type licenses - GPL does not require to name the original author. So people who think the "By" clause is importent for them can't use the GPL.
Edit - not sure if this is of importance. The are CC*NC licenses, which are "not for commercial use". GPL also does not cater for that case. GPL can be used commercially.
