I don't think so. I think the GPL's "mere aggregation" is equivalent to 
BY-SA's "collective work".

One thing I'm curious about is whether including (e.g.) a short poem 
makes an essay a derivative of it, or whether that kind of quotation has 
the same aggregate/collective status as a photographic "quotation".
