So the problem is that the CC-By-SA-1.0 does not have the
license upgrade clause?


Actually, I don't think it's possible to upgrade a work from any of the
licenses, version 1.0, 2.0, or 2.5, unless you a) get the licensor's
permission or b) make a derivative work.

What's a "derivative work"?

Or more to the point, how much do you have to have altered
a work before you are entitled to upgrade the license? How
is this decision made?

Perhaps the entire wiki is a "derivative work"?

More likely, it is a "combined work".

Except of course that you may not be allowed to publish the
wiki if it is considered a "combined work" and some of the
contributions are CC-By-SA-1.0!

Cheers,
Terry
