A remake of my game peiced with crystal material. Older non-crystal versions are here:

Clear and frosted surfaces, white-black and yellow-blue, to help the players with a red-gree color blindness. It should be easy to change the hues of the colored versions if you need different hues for your game.

Nice, but simplifying licence will be good. If you want credit you should just put one licence. Either CC-BY 3.0 or CC-BY-SA 3.0 will be good.
The licenses are options. You don't need to comply to all - just pick one that fits your project and it will be fine. So if your project is GPL, your option is GPL. Otherwise you pick CC-By or CC-By-SA.
I don't think removing license options will simplify things.
That's not how it works, unfortunately. Right now you have licenses that overlap and are contrary, so it's about as confusing as not giving it a license at all. Pick one that you think is the best for the assets, otherwise go with CC0.
In other discussions people said, the licenses are options - the user only needs to fulfill one of the offered options, not all. That's why I offer all the licenses which I'll accept my art to be used with.
CC0 I'll not accept.
If I'm wrong with the idea that the licenses are "I offer all, you can pick one that suits your project", I'll have to change all my entries here to CC-By I guess ... but before I do that and edit all the entries, I want to be sure (e.g. get word from a mod) that my idea is wrong indeed.
If you feel unsure, you can always claim you got the piece from here:

DA offers only one license choice for works, and so I chose CC-By 3.0
Really I won't go after you if you actually use it, regardless of the license, as long as you give credit. I make this stuff to be used in games - I just want a mention in return.
And I wonder why this discussion starts now, since I have several dozen of works uploaded with all licenses offered except CC0 which I'll not accept. And also, why the site offers to select many licenses if it's so useless as you say. I'm quite certain that my idea that you need to fulfill only one of them, is correct.
I can't find any definite clarification of that in the sites FAQ and also no forum topics. I'm not sure where I got the "choose one that fits" from. I guess I'll change all the entries to CC-By then ...
Kenny, Magic105, what are you talking about? Submissions can be licensed GPL and CC so users can choose which license they prefer. As far as I can tell, Varkalandar is correct. From the FAQ: http://opengameart.org/content/faq#q-multilicense
Emphasis mine.
License your submissions with as many licenses as you want. The user may choose ONE that best suits their project.
If there is confusion about attribution, it should be clarified in the attribution instructions. Having more than one license to choose from is a fantastic thing! Some have CC By-(SA) projects, other people have GPL projects. Why discourage this?
Thanks for the clarification. I've already changed a number of submissions to CC-By only, will change them back to allow GPL and OGA-By as well.
Thanks for providing all the options. You should pick all the ones you are OK to go with and let the programmer decide which to use. (Though anyone else with CC0 as an option might as well not have others because that license is so broad that it basically overrules the others if you pick it.)
Good point about cc0, but I've seen programmers choose GPL even when CC0 was one of the options... just for the sake of simplicity. "All assets are GPL" is a lot cleaner than "All asssets are GPL except goat_head.png, running_fat_guy.gif, and happy_intro_tune.ogg; Those ones are CC0."
...not that it applies in this case since Varkalandar isn't into cc0 :)
Now that is novel, a chess set with Bits from Tron as Pawns. Very well designed.
