Creative Commons recommends against applying cc licenses to software projects

https://opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/9242/why-does-creative-commons-recommend-not-using-cc-by-licenses-for-software

I recommend applying the Apache license instead, as it is close to the intent of your CC-BY choice but has important legalese that is missing from the MIT/BSD license, which is much shorter, basically the same, but doesn't deal with all the nuances and edge cases as well.
