This has always been a bit confusing for me.
Consider you use a graphic, or texture, or sound, or song, or whatever licensed under this, then does the above imply that:
a) The game has to be distributed under this license (or a similar one) as well?
b) Only if the texture/graphic/sound/song is modified, that this modified texture/graphic/sound/song has to be distributed under that license, effectively meaning that "game" and this part of the game are distributed on two different terms?
Personally, I'd think that "b" is the case, but I'd rather hear more opinions on this.
The official german translation implies the same.
Of course, we're all not lawyers, I know. Still I'd like to hear your thoughts.
It has been quiet here this christmas.
