I think posting snippets on a blog falls into "Fair Use". As long as I'm
not posting something which is a full program, this is fine.  Besides,
CC-BY-NC-SA is compatible with GPL! Compatible. With GPL.

Quoting the SA (ShareAlike) part from the website:

So if anyone dislikes GPL, add CC-...-SA to your list as well.
