I haven't been following this thread, so maybe I missed something, but 2.0
and greater SA licenses include the language Rob proposes in the license:

"You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly
digitally perform a Derivative Work only under the terms of this License,
a later version of this License with the same License Elements as this
License, or a Creative Commons iCommons license that contains the same
License Elements as this License (e.g. Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 Japan)."
