Here's the legal code in question for BY-SA.

 From section 4b:

> You may Distribute or Publicly Perform an Adaptation only under the  
> terms of: (i) this License; (ii) a later version of this License  
> with the same License Elements as this License; (iii) a Creative  
> Commons jurisdiction license (either this or a later license  
> version) that contains the same License Elements as this License  
> (e.g., Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 US)); (iv) a Creative Commons  
> Compatible License.

Creative Commons Compatible Licenses are located at

http://creativecommons.org/compatiblelicenses

The page in question has no licenses listed there, so as of right now  
the licenses can't be used together in any way. After reading the  
license text again, though, it seems to me that if the two were  
compatible according to CC, you could legally use CC BY-SA content and  
license the final product as Libre Art License.

I'd love to see this compatibility because some music on Jamendo,  
which I regularly farm for high quality soundtracks for my CC licensed  
movies, occasionally contains LAL music. I'd love to use this music  
but can't because of incompatibility.

Hope that helps a bit.

Best,
// Matt
