The example this started with actually had a game that included by-2.0-licensed media, but that detail seems to have gotten lost.

There are already game projects that are using CC licenses for level designs, interstitial video, graphics, and audio, although the game engine itself uses the GPL or something similarly program-oriented.

I agree too (although I think the needs of other recipients, besides the original project, are important too). I also think parallel distribution meets this goal.
