The last I checked ccMixter definately allowed BY and did not allow BY-SA. (I 
would be very happy for someone to confirm that they now accept BY-SA works.)

That pool would be great though.

I can't even determine if any copyrights are claimed on all of the abc 
repositories of old music.

It would seem to me a decen project would be to put as much public domain 
music online as possible under a BY-SA license where any new copyrights 
arise.
