There are few things in universe using CC-BY-NC, but largely I suspect that is stuff that could not be re-licensed.
It would seem fine for the general artwork to use CC-BY. I am not sure about the logo (or any brand specific stuff), even CC-BY-ND seems like it would be too permissive, it doesnt seem right to give out a free pass for people to do whatever they want with our branding. What do the other flavours do in this regard?
