[cc-licenses] Does BY-SA do what I think it does?

Hi.

I have licensed a javascript library I have written using the BY-SA 2.0
licence.  Someone asked if they could use this library in a commercial
setting, and were worried about the SA part of it.  This person thinks
that if other, commercial, code uses this library, even in an
unmodified form, that this constitutes a “Derivative Work” and as such
must also be licensed under CC-BY-SA.  That is not how I interpreted
the text of the license when I chose it, and wasn’t my intention.
Could someone please clarify this for me?

Thanks,

Cameron
