License should be CC-BY-SA 3.0? #5

This was originally based on a Stack Exchange answer, and the SE license is CC-BY-SA 3.0. Also, I don't see anything on the original answerer's profile that provides any other license. I am not a lawyer, but as far as I know, those circumstances require this code be CC-BY-SA 3.0 as well. Thoughts?

Hey, thanks for the note. I'm not a lawyer either :-) but I think that you may be correct, as the CC BY-SA 3.0 license does require to "ShareAlike" ("... you must distribute ... under the same license as the original").

Happy to change the license! I'll push that commit now.

Thank you!
