License question

Hi,

I'd like to make a game for smartphone and I want to use 0AD graphics. 
The programming code and the logic of the game will be different and no 0AD source of code will be used.
This game will be a paid game, so can I only indicate the owner of 0AD graphics and not share my source code? Or have I any obligations?

 

Thank you for your time

Licences for code and art are separate, so if you use your own code then there's no problem with having it be closed source. As far as art goes, everything (including the music) is CC-BY-SA, which means you can use anything from 0ad without permission for any purpose, and even sell it, as long as you make it clear that the art is licensed CC-BY-SA and anyone else is thus free to rip it off and use it for whatever they want as well.

Note that you could also sell the source code of 0 A.D. if you do so you'd only have to fix the android port of 0 A.D.
