As should be already clear from my previous messages [1], I think a
one-way conversion clause (from CC-by-sa to GPL and from CC-by to zlib)
would be a crucial feature to have in CC-v4.0 licenses.

I mean a conversion clause directly written into the licenses: I
believe this would be even better than relying on an external list of
"compatible" licenses.
