You can't revoke open licenses, but I'm pretty sure you could apply another license, or share future versions under a different compatible license.

Perhaps in the future I might be able to convince a professor to let me use it as a credit. It has made a few assignment much easier however (and dare I say fun?). I chose the CC license because it did encompass the gist of what I wanted people to do with it: although it's my code and I own it, I want people to be able to edit, customize, and reroll it as they see fit, providing it remains open source, free, and I am credited for my work. I must admit I didn't do a lot of reading up on different licenses prior to assigning one to it, but I'm sure I could be convinced otherwise if you were to try :) Unfortunately, none of the development work I am doing applies for course credit.

I can understand you wanting to rebuild now that you've matured as a programmer, and that there are areas which could be improved upon, but it's still an impressive piece of software. Are you able to use the project for any sort of course credit? I'm sorry I don't have more time away from making games to help you, but there seem like a lot of keen web developers on H2H so I hope they will take the opportunity to be part of this. Just a question though - why a Creative Commons license rather than say... a BSD or MIT license? It seems kind of unusual for software, even if it does set out the necessary rights. Anyway good luck with development, it will be great to see how the project progresses. Hey Dj,
