Change license to Apache 2.0 with common clause?

I know Brian would also have to approve this, but asking you first

Creative Commons is not recommended for source code https://opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/9242/why-does-creative-commons-recommend-not-using-cc-by-licenses-for-software. I would consider looking into Apache 2.0 with common clause, like they did at https://redis.com/blog/redis-license-bsd-will-remain-bsd/

The textures, sounds, music, & models could even stay CC, it's common to have assets under a CC license.

The common clause & NC would still keep it out of debian and the official fedora repository, but this would stop using an art license for source code.
