The CC-BY-SA license is designed for artistic and literary works but not for software. If you want your work to be of the greatest use to the public, please consider dual-licensing it and releasing it under a [[Free_software#Free_Speech_definition|free software license]] such as the [[GNU General Public License]] (GPL) in addition to the other license(s). Like the GFDL, the GPL is released by the [[Free Software Foundation]]. You can use both by explicitly stating in a comment at the start of your script that your script is dual-licensed under the GPL.
