And actually, BY-SA *contains* permission to license derivatives under
BY-SA.  ODbL *contains* permission to license derivatives under ODbL.

DbCL *contains*...well it contains clause 2!

I guess clause 2 is redundant.  It would be sufficient to simply say
"contributors agree to license their contributions under the DbCL".
