For reference, you are referring specifically to the *Spanish* version of the 
BY-SA license.

I can't read Spanish, so I can't be sure.  The localized licenses often differ 
from the English-language licenses.  Any Spanish speakers care to comment?

The original English US version CC-BY-SA 2.5 license is not considered 
DFSG-free.  This is due to small technical writing errors; we are quite sure 
that it is intended to be DFSG-free.  We have been in discussions with 
Creative Commons, and the 3.0 version of the license should be DFSG-free.
It is likely that the Spanish license is in the same situation.

The *Scotland* CC-BY-SA 2.5 license *is* DFSG-free, and is frankly a very well 
written license with really good model clauses.  (So is the Scotland CC-BY 
license.)
