Like GPL, CCBYSA allows you —the licensee— to pick a future version of the same license. That is, if you receive a copy of work under v3, you can make it available under v4, no questions asked.

Section 4, clause b: > You may Distribute or Publicly Perform an Adaptation only under the terms of: (i) this License; (ii) a later version of this License with the same License Elements as this License ... That only covers adaptations. Ignore me. [0]: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/legalcode https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/legalcode
