Are you aware just how hostile #Youtube is to #copyleft #FreeCulture?
For your uploads you can either use cc by or a proprietary license.¹
So if you want to publish on youtube, you cannot use any copyleft art.
To give you an idea of just how much Youtube prohibits re-using from opengameart:
And most of #Wikipedia.
Indeed, this has been a huge problem for years. I attempted to talk to YouTube about it when they were small. Unfortunately they were lobbied by others to give *ONLY ONE* non-proprietary license, and to make it a non- #copyleft one.
It's a disaster for Free Culture, as you say. I wish I had a better idea how to solve it, but now I recommend just telling YouTube it's proprietary and put the correct license in the description like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tVKItTtL3w
Not ideal, but workable.
@bkuhn Is the standard youtube-license compatible with cc by-sa and/or gpl?
The terms of service¹ say: "the Content you submit must not include third-party intellectual property (such as copyrighted material) unless you have permission from that party or are otherwise legally entitled to do so"
The "license to youtube" part includes "modify … for the sole purpose of operating, and improving the Service".
I’m not sure whether that’s compatible with cc by-sa or GPL.

Great question;it's dicey.
My interpretation as a policy matter is that if you clearly state prominently where the licensing of the work differs from #YouTube's terms, *and* you go to efforts to also make the work available better-licensing-marked elsewhere, that the chance of a real problem are minimal.
This issue definitely needs an essay for posterity b/c it's gonna come up again.
I have to queue that for after Vizio trial, but it's in the queue.
IANAL & TINLA.
