Generally speaking, Creative Commons's own FAQ explicitly recommends

integrate CC-licensed work with other free software." IANAL, so I would
interpret that on the safe side to mean that no CC license is fully
compatible with the MIT license (what Lua uses).

Uh oh... I completely missed that when, years ago, when I published a
couple of works including Lua code under CC-by-sa.
(I guess it's too late do do something about it)
