License hassle

[NoQ]

I see that various mods already come with license agreements. So i wonder which kinds of licenses (CreativeCommons?, GPL?!) would not cause problems for developers on content that:

• is posted on factorio forums,
• makes it into the in-game mod database,
• gets included into the base game data (who knows)?

There were some discussions on this topic in the past.

Concerning the "make it into the game" point, even if the concept of a mod is made into the game, it will probably never be the mod itself but the concept carried by the mod, as the game is written in C++ and the mods are in LUA.
Moreover, most mods are ok as mods, but wouldn't fit as is in the game and have to be rethought.

Thanks, i guess searching by "license" wasn't enough

Yeah, that would be mostly about smaller assets like sprites or sounds.
