FreeOrion artistic or creative content is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license, not "or later".

So, to be included in FreeOrion, art needs to be released under the CC-BY-SA 3.0, and not only under another version of the license.

I'm not sure, but have read that 3.0 art can be re-released as an adaptation under 4.0, but your post is unclear about what you actually want to do.

What are the consequences for assets under v4 ?
I have some basic knowledge about licenses but this goes beyond my meager knowledge...

I don't know what's different between the various CC-BY-SA license versions. Googling suggests: https://creativecommons.org/version4/
