i have no clue what the copyright tags they have on this site mean
I used a different site and they were completely different
Most people use a tablet rather than a mouse, except for pixel art :) tho you probably know this :P
About the licences I am not an expert, the only ones I tend to use are CC0 (which allows people downloading your art to do bascially anything they want with it without any restrictions, they don't need to credit you either or anything.) and CC3, which is equivalent to what a piece of artwork on DeviantArt, for example, is usually licenced by.
What I can say is that GPL 2.0 and CC0 are definitely not compatible with one another, if you want to have your piece licenced by GPL you should probably remove the CC0 tag.
@Spring-Enterprises Multiple licenses mean that the user can pick whichever one is most convinient for them.
Also somone correct me if any of the following is wrong but to my knowledge:
DeviantArt allows you to choose the license when you submit art. By default, DeviantArt does not put a CreativeCommons license on the submissions which means users cannot share, modify, or use your artwork in any capacity.
I'm not sure what you mean by "CC3" (there are multiple licenses that could refer to) but many of the works on DeviantAre are for sale (prints, merch), many are commissioned (which means most of the time the person who commissioned it has given the artist permission to put it on their page but not let anyone else use it), and many people do not have the rights to the content of their artwork (fan art).
DeviantArt is mainly used as an online portfolio of artwork - not for sharing artwork for other to use (although you can use it for that purpose if you select those options upon submitting).
Sorry, i was wrong about the deviantart thing. What they mean by CC3 is actually somewhat unclear ;; but regardless, most pieces on the site are actually copyrighted,,
CC3 is shorthand for "Creative Commons version 3.0", but it usually refers to CC BY 3.0, specifically. I agree with Angelee that it is not the clearest abbreviation of an abbreviation since there are about 6 different Creative Commons version 3 licenses in active use.
@Deity: If you have any additional questions about the licenses, definitely feel free to ask. We are all happy to help. :)
Everything on OGA is available for people to use in thier projects (without asking your permission first; by uploading artwork here you've said "I give everyone permission to use this") even for commercial projects. The licenses available for you to select allow some different things within that, though. For example, you've selected GPL and CC0 for this.
As Spring and Angelee have indicated, CC0 means people can use your art for whatever they want. They don't have to credit you or make your artwork available for others in their project or on their website (though it's still available here for everyone, of course). The only thing people cannot do is claim they made the artwork themselves or imply you, the author, have endorsed their project.
In general terms, GPL means people can use your art, but they have to keep the art licensed GPL (including any changes or alterations to the art they have made), make it available to others, clearly indicate in their project that the art is GPL, including a copy of the license text. GPL is considered a viral license in that any other works it is combined with are "infected" with the GPL license and the collective work must be made GPL as well. NOTE: GPL is a software/code license. It was not intended for artwork. I do not recommend using GPL if you can avoid it. However, there are legitimate reasons you may choose to do so. For one it allows GPL projects to remain simple by having everything (code, art, story, etc.) under one license. GPL is primarily included as an option here for legacy reasons; there was a lot of good art from before Creative Commons was a thing, and GPL was the best way to openly license it at the time.
Since people downloading your art can simply choose one of the two licenses available (as angelee indicated), they can disregard the additional requirements that come with the GPL and simply use CC0. In that way they are "incompatible" (as Spring has indicated), but there is nothing wrong with listing both if you so choose. Many artists select several licenses, even when CC0 makes the others unneccessary, since it allows people searching for art under a specific license to find it easier.
TL;DR: licenses are complicated, but if you tell us what you'd like to allow, we can help find the right license for you. :)
