    My research is providing mixed results:
    - Some say, that this would require you whole project to be licensed by "CC-BY-SA 3.0"
    - Some say, that this would require only all your Art to be be licensed by "CC-BY-SA 3.0"
    - Some say, that this would require only the specific files to be licensed by "CC-BY-SA 3.0"

    Question:
    Does anybody here has experience using "CC BY SA 3.0" licensed content commercially?

    Of course if I decide to use them, I will get real legal advice before hand.
    For the moment they just make nice looking placeholder art, and I taught they would be nice for some other Developers as well.


    Thanks

    This. It says so right in the summary.

    Always a good idea, but make sure it's from a reputable source. Not all lawyers are familiar with this field.
