In my view, if you successfully claim your piece of paper is a  
collected work, then you're fine. If it is a derived work, then it  
has to have CC-BY-SA and FDL licensing, exclusively, at the same  
time, which is impossible at least in the standard Western European  
(sober) state of mind.

Your example might work because it could be argued to be collected  
rather than derived. But if you, say, printed biography information  
from Wikiepdia along streets that carry the names of famous people,  
you'd definietly be in the derived terrain, and for me this would be  
a clear legal no-go because your work cannot fulfil the "infection"  
terms of both licenses at the same time.

Bye
Frederik
