With a scripting language such as PHP, BY-SA's lack of a source code provision clause is less harmful as there is no separation of source code and executable. So it's broadly equivalent to the GPL's copyleft on source code, and just as useless for web service software.

(We then get into what copyleft means for web service applications. I suggest the AGPL, you object, and we move on to the next topic. ;-) )
