CC-BY-SA 2.5 can be re-released under 3.0?

2012-08-18 Thread Fabio
See this bug report:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=432095
and my reply with links to CC FAQ (sorry for the broken links due to crappy 
webmail).

So would it be possible to just restrict the package license to 3.0 to be 
debian compatible?

Dear Fabio,

CC licenses version 3.0 are compatible with version 2.0, but on the other hand,
CC licenses do not allow to redistribute a work under a later license: the
section 4.b, that contains « You may distribute [...] a Derivative Work [...]
under [...] a later version of this License » only applies to derivatives
(called adatpations in version 3.0).  Section 4.a, which applies to the
original work, does not give this permission.

Have a nice day,
