No. There's no mention of or provision for source code in the
*-ShareAlike licenses.

No license is exactly equivalent to the GPL. The GPL is its own
license.

What do you mean by "compatible"? That you can include work under the
CC license into a GPL'd Derivative Work? Or that you can include GPL'd
work into a CC-licensed work? Only a few work for the first
(Attribution, I think, only), and none for the second.

You mean, which licenses match the Open Source Initiative's "Open
Source Definition"? Perhaps you should ask OSI that:

       http://www.opensource.org/

My guess is none -- again, none of the CC licenses mention "source
code" -- but I might be wrong.

P.S. Do I have to put the stupid IANAL disclaimer in every post? I'm
not a lawyer.
