Dear Fabio,
CC licenses version 3.0 are compatible with version 2.0, but on the other hand,
CC licenses do not allow to redistribute a work under a later license: the
section 4.b, that contains « You may distribute [...] a Derivative Work [...]
under [...] a later version of this License » only applies to derivatives
(called adatpations in version 3.0). Section 4.a, which applies to the
original work, does not give this permission.
Have a nice day,
