I echo the view that attribution need not be a prerequisite when
considering whether a license is one-way compatible to a CC BY-SA
license. As Kat mentioned, public domain dedication (like CC0)
does not demand attribution. There also exists (though retired)
CC SA 1.0 license which does not have an attribution element.

http://creativecommons.org/licenses/sa/1.0/

For me, it will be not natural to say, just because of the difference
in attribution requirement, neither CC0 nor CC SA 1.0 is one-way
compatible to a CC BY-SA license.

best,
Tyng-Ruey

Personally, I think there should be adequate room for differences in
the attribution requirement (if such a requirement is needed at all in
the candidate license). Otherwise it may happen that no license will
ever be considered as Compatible...


I suspect Francesco is right and this will have to be a case-by-case analysis. If you don't want to do a case-by-case analysis, the right way to go about this is probably to analyze and compare the requirements of all the licenses you're currently considering for this - e.g., GPLs, OGLs, etc. Without that sort of systematic analysis this question probably can't go anywhere.
