Which license is better to apply in mods to Warzone 2100?

GPL v2 or Creative Commons CC BY-SA 3.0

You could always dual-license. If you ask me, I'd suggest you go with CC0 if you don't care about licensing.

Two points to consider:

• The GPL was written with code in mind, the CC licenses with art.
• If you use material (images etc.) from other people, you have to honor their license terms.

[Per]

Note that if you use works that are already one of these license, you must use changed versions of them under the same license. And it is hard to make a substantial mod (ie something more than a map) without reusing some of the original GPL'ed works. So you probably have to either make your mod GPL or part GPL, part CC BY-SA.
