That's not actually true, is it? SA requires that derivatives stay under the
*same* licence, preventing derivate works from being licensed *differently*.
It reserves the right of the author to *change* the licence, right?

That means a derivative work can't be CC BY or CC0 (or GNU GPL, or the
Artistic License) or, yes, under a non-free license. It's not just preventing
proprietary reuse, but also preventing the addition (GNU GPL -- source
requirements) or subtraction (CC BY, CC0) of restrictions, whether within
libre or not.
