So i plan to make a game and license it under gpl ,but i am a but confused as i am not familiar with the intricate details , so here are my concerns and questions:

1- I plan to do all the programming and most of the art, will my art also fall under gpl license (thats what i hope for)

2- I will use some free assets where artists say you can use however you want and just ask for crediting their work(crediting is optional) , will this be part of my foss/gpl work or its separate and how do i assure that.

3- Same as last question but this time with sounds,i plan on using sites like freemusicarchive.org and freesounds.org ,but alot of usuable work are under CC-BY-SA which means my work need to fall under same license, is gpl equivalent to CC-BY-SA, if not what can i doi about this, can my game be under CC-BY-SA,can the code be gpl, and everything else CC-BY-SA?

4- Last question, is it okay to sell the game or it needs to free to be ehh free and open source, and if so doesn’t it go against the spirit of open source to sell the game?i feel like its unethical or scummy to do so correct me if i am wrong, or can the game be priced and the code be feely available?

I’d appreciate any responses in advance and sorry if this was a bit lengthy, i am just too confused and just want to do everything right
