Could you please point out to me code that is actually licenced under
CC-BY-SA or any place where people are suggesting to you CC-BY-SA for code?
CC-BY-SA is used for creative output, while free software licences are used
for code.
Right now, that example doesn't make sense. If you want to prove something,
you should really start to use meaningful examples with real examples
instead of some really far fetched scenarios that are unlikely to happen in
the first place. I don't know of any sane project that would licence code
under CC-BY-SA in the first place.
