Well, they (Yahoo!) haven't automatically upgraded it.  They have taken our
CC-BY-SA 2.0 licensed work and manually republished it under a new, but
compatible license.  It is their copy that is licensed under 3.0, ours is
still 2.0.  The 2.0 license allows them to do this.

What nobody can do is wave a magic wand and say that all copies are now
CC-BY-SA 3.0.  That's what I believe CC mean by  saying that there is no
automatic upgrade.

Best switch this thread to legal-talk, if you want to discuss further.
