You're right, it's not CC-By-SA. The actual license is a custom
"attribution-style" license, that's closest equivalent in CC terms
would be CC-By.

However, that doesn't change the fact that the OS OpenData license is
incompatible with the contributor terms, and DbCL, and quite possibly
ODbL too.

For the reasoning, if you're not convinced, see
