   Using the !GPL v3+ as a license for artistic works instead of !CC By-SA - is it too crazy an idea?

     @csolisr You mean like pictures? Maybe you'd be better off with CC or licensing it twice, CC and separately GPL. Also, are you trolling? :-)
     DJ Dougernaut repeated this.

     @csolisr Interesting idea. Someone else just said that would be a good idea for creative works, it would allow for re-editing movies, say

     @dper 1. It's actually a multimedia project. Sources will be edited with free software, and I need to keep it so for derivative works.

     @csolisr non-crazy.

     @csolisr ... But that doesn't mean you can just stop developing. Perhaps pushing for more PD works would be a productive angle?

     I keep telling myself that I will not get sucked into these #unproductive conversations, but rather spend my time #producing things....

     @dper Of course I haven't stopped making. I just need to wait until the licensing system gets more apt, in order to *publish*.

     I'm not sure you understand dual-licensing. That means you offer both. They do not need to be compatible. Hence, douches release under proprietary and copyleft licenses at same time.

     @douglasawh Dual-licensing defeats my purpose. People can choose not to release source under CC-By-SA, rendering the GPL useless.

     releasing under the GPL defeats your purpose because no one outside of software uses it. Assuming, of course, your purpose is for people to use it and not to make a political statement. No judgment: perhaps a political statement needs to be made.

     @csolisr If you want to make your work easily reusable, release the art separately: once under GPL and once under CC-BY-SA...

     @csolisr ... For your code, only release it under GPL (with the GPL art included). That should work, right?

     @douglasawh Avoiding derivative works in non-free software or formats is mandatory for me. Soon !CC will allow 1-way compatibility with GPL.
