Within the text of the CCPL, there are several references to "this

I wonder: would it be at all reasonable to consider "this License" toSo the problem is that the CC-By-SA-1.0 does not have the

I ask because this interpretation would make the different versions of
ShareAlike licenses with the same license elements mutually compatible.
You could distribute a by-sa 1.0 work under the terms of the 2.5
license, or vice versa. That'd be a help for projects where license

Sounds like you'll need to either scrub the 1.0 content out
of the wiki or get original sources to upgrade the license.
Alternatively, you could use a blanket license statement for
the site which says that content is under the By-SA 2.5 "unless
otherwise noted", and then put "By-SA 1.0" notices on the
affected pages.
