Interesting choice. What made you settle upon a source code licence  
for geodata?

I'm not saying I agree or disagree (indeed, there's a good argument  
that geodata has more similarities to source code than to creative  
works, so GPL may be more suitable than CC-SA or similar), I'm just  
intrigued.
