Currently, Battle for Wesnoth licenses *everything* we make under the GNU GPL. This means code, art, music, everything is under the GPL.
I think this is a serious mistake, since the GPL is specifically designed for executable software. It makes little or no sense for art or music, which puts anyone wanting to use the art or music in a dubious and uncertain position. I think we should move to clarify this by moving all of our art and music to be licensed under something that makes sense. I propose that we move all art to CC-BY-SA version 4 ( https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode ). I think doing this makes the most sense for Wesnoth and is in the spirit of our project. I have talked to some of the most significant artistic contributors about this and they are in favor of it, and I don't know anybody who objects. It is probably difficult for us to contact every artist that has ever done any art for Wesnoth, but we can probably contact most to ensure agreement with this. A change like this should allow for much greater certainty with respect to what Wesnoth's art can be used for and what it can't moving forward. David
