Can a CC-SA 2.5 work be relicensed under CC-SA 3.0?



[Please CC me on replies, I'm not subscribed to the list.]

Recent developement versions of liferea include a set of icons derived
from the CC-SA 2.5 tango icons set.

That means I can't upload such versions to main, as that's not
DFSG-free.

However, the author of the icons has indicated he'd be willing to
relicense them, within the constraints of the original work, of
course. Now, CC-SA 2.5 section 4.b says

  You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly
  digitally perform a Derivative Work only under the terms of this
  License, a later version of this License with the same License
  Elements as this License, or a Creative Commons iCommons license that
  contains the same License Elements as this License
  (e.g. Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 Japan). ...

Does this mean he's free to relicense his derivative work as CC-SA
3.0? In that case, I'm I right in assuming this would make the icons
DFSG-free?
