If the work is copyrightable, CC-BY-SA isn't compatible with ODbL.
CC-BY-SA isn't compatible with anything but CC-BY-SA (including later
and jurisdiction-specific versions) and a license which CC has
declared to be compatible.  At this time, "Creative Commons has not
approved any licenses for compatibility"
(http://creativecommons.org/compatiblelicenses).
