Thank you for pointing out my mistake. My fourth line was intended to be dropped in favor of line #2: Even though there was some discussions to make CC-BY-SA compatible with GPL, this wasn't included in the final license. CC's "ShareAlike" element prevents incorporating CC-BY-SA into GPL (at least until CC list the GPL as officially equivalent and compatible). BTW, I am not completely sure that one can write a document with some paragraphs under GPL and some other under CC-BY-SA, and have a license statement like "some parts on this documents are licensed under GPL and some parts are licensed under CC-BY-SA".
