I'm splitting this out to a new thread because I think it's important
and can be discussed now, regardless of the exact path that's taken.

What problem do you have with CC-BY-SA?  Personally, I like the basic
concept (do what you want as long as you attribute others, derivatives
must be under the same license), but I'm not familiar with the
nitty-gritty details.  There were some complaints in particular with
the newer versions of CC-BY-SA, which I don't recall, but which
possibly could be addressed before the compatibility is put into
place.

But, in order to have any chance of this, we need to get a list of
complaints.  What problems do people have with CC-BY-SA?  I'm asking
this of everyone on the list.
