(1) CC licenses don't extend to software. For software, we recommend
the GPL.
(2) Any copyleft license itself determines what other licenses it is
compatible with. We're in the process of extending compatibility with
our copyleft licenses. But
the FSF controls what licenses are compatible with the GPL.
