But the CC-SA 3.0 is not a viral license like (L)GPL can be, it's just about the documentation, it's not saying anything about the code base which has nothing to do with the documentation (it's not as if Groovy source code was depending on documentation, like source code can depend on an GPL library, for instance, so it's not infecting the code with those terms).
