No. The CC BY SA to that degree (1a and all that) only cares if you're commercially releasing something you are claiming copyright over. Giving me credit exhumes malicious intent and is a legal "head nod" in a sense. 

I've been using the same CC BY SA for about five years now and have only had ONE issue with a Youtuber who played a game where the wrong person was credited for my music that wasn't listed in any of my royalty free pages, lmao. Dude took a commercial release I put out, took music from it, put it in his game, and Youtube Content ID asked him to credit me and he credited...someone else...then blamed me, lmao. I never knew it was an issue because it kept telling the other guy he credited that the Youtuber was appealing his strikes, lmao.


Tl;dr - I've been using the lisence for about five years, alls good. A lot of people seem to be in full fear of stuff like Content ID but I go out of my way to make sure the ONLY time stuff like that ever comes up is if someone is actually monetizing content with my work in it without credit, which typically never happens in a game jam or the envoirnment where I release these packs. But even then, I wouldn't really care or personally seek these people out.
