[SOLVED] What is Wesnoth content license

Post by vinipsmaker »

I think of Wesnoth as a full literature and I wanna develop a game based on the world of Wesnoth.

I wanna know if I'm forced to use a specific license in this game if...
  • The game use Wesnoth original art...
  • The game use Wesnoth original art and stories...
  • The game use Wesnoth literature (the world of Wesnoth), but doesn't use any Wesnoth original (or derived) art or code...

Code and art are GPL, but I have no idea about the literature.
