I am already asking for a one-way conversion clause from CC-by-sa to

Apache 2 is the FSF's current recommendation for a permissive license. Would this be acceptable, or would its mention of patents clash with BY?

Out of interest, why zlib rather than MIT, which was the FSF's previous recommendation iirc? Zlib's no-misrepresentation clause seems less useful than MIT's waiver of warranties, although more in-keeping with BY's moral rights handling.
