Hi again,
Section 3(c)(1) of CC-by-nc-sa-v4.0draft1 states:
[...]
> (1) You must release it under the terms of one of the following:
>
> (i) this Public License,
> (ii) a later version of this Public License containing the same
> License Conditions, [or
> (iii) a Creative Commons ported license (either this or a later
> license version) containing the same License Conditions as this
> Public License,]
>
> (whichever license is chosen is the “Adaptation License”).
>
> CC note: Alternative (iii) is bracketed in this draft because
> the question of porting for 4.0 is undecided and will be
> subject to discussion later in the 4.0 process.
[...]
I personally suggest to *not* port v4.0 licenses to specific jurisdictions.
I think the right approach is striving to create international licenses
that work well in as many jurisdictions as possible, without the need
of porting them to each local jurisdiction.
I also reiterate the recommendation to introduce explicit one-way
conversion clauses
* that allow redistribution of CC-by-sa-v4.0-licensed works under the
terms of the GNU GPL version 2 or any later version
* that allow redistribution of CC-by-v4.0-licensed works under the
terms of the zlib license: http://www.gzip.org/zlib/zlib_license.html
See my previous message [1] for more details.

I hope these suggestions may be implemented in the next draft.
