Except that it is not, the SA license ghettoizes the work just as an NC
licenses does. The only difference is that they build different walls.

You can't combine a CC-BY work with a CC-BY-SA work without either
imposing a SA limitation on the CC-BY work, or removing the SA
limitation on the CC-BY-SA work. Which is no different to that of
someone combining CC-BY-NC-SA license with a CC-BY-SA license.
