yeah, but then it would be dual-licenced under CC and GPL.

How would that even work then, as CC doesn't allow for money to be made while GPL does. It would be weird.

People would pick one license or the other, whichever they preferred. Mozilla does this with their MPL.

I have a question. What if one created textures and released them under Creative Commons. But gives special license for a project under GPL. Would those textures automatically be GPL forever then?

Yes. By releasing as GPL, you are insisting that anyone who uses it provides anyone else they distribute it to with full access, regardless of what they want to do with it, as long as they provide others with the same full access.

So in short, you give GPL to the world, you can't give it to individuals or groups.


Personally, I don't worry about this noncommercial stuff, because I have armed FOSS projects with the same ammunition as the commercials (and only indies would use GPL content anyhow). And I don't worry about attribution, because I'm confident the projects that are big and well known will give attribution for whatever they use anyway. You just don't get big being a bunch of shits in a world where you depend on volunteering.
