"CC-BY-SA doesn't work" is not the kind of statement I think "some people
with actual law degrees" are any more qualified to answer than anyone else
anyway.  Not until you define what it means to "work".

That's the part I'm sure we disagree on.  IMO opinion, CC-BY-SA, like the
GPL (which states it explicitly) "is intended to guarantee your freedom",
not "to take away your freedom".  So the fact that CC-BY-SA doesn't take
away your freedoms, like the ODbL does, is IMO a feature, not a bug.
