In most cases, there is no problem with the existing licenses. A game
engine's copyleft license does not affect the content it plays, nor does
the sharealike content license affect the engine used to play it.
IOW, no license conversion is required for the situation you propose.
OTOH, there may be some edge cases where this is not true. I tried to
come up with examples that challenge this content/player boundary.
IANAL, etc.
Cheers,
Terry
