Thanks for the suggestion.  I'm a bit puzzled by this use of
CC-By-SA.  Creative Commons themselves don't recommend it and include
the GNU GPL and BSD-style licences in their collection.  See
http://wiki.creativecommons.org/FFAQ#Can_I_license_software_using_CC_licenses.3F
Is it still free software?

I think it almost is, with the usual CC concerns which you can find on
debian-legal if you look.  I've sent in a why-not-GPL query and may
post the reply here later.  I'll probably try AskPeople in the future.

Thanks,
