Please consider releasing this software under a license other than Creative Commons. CC themselves say:

We recommend against using Creative Commons licenses for software. Instead, we strongly encourage you to use one of the very good software licenses which are already available. We recommend considering licenses made available by the Free Software Foundation or listed as “open source” by the Open Source Initiative.

As for compatible licenses with BY-SA 3.0:

Currently, no non-CC licenses have been designated as compatible with BY-SA 3.0. Other licenses may be added to this list at any time according to the established process and criteria. Once a license has been added to this list, it will not be removed.

The present terms limit adoption of the software in both Open Source and proprietary software contexts.
