It is not, OCL is more restrictive:

"You may not charge a fee for the OC itself. You may not charge a fee
for the sole service of providing access to and/or use of the OC via
a network (e.g. the Internet), whether it be via the world wide web,
FTP, or any other method."

All things CC-BY-SA allows.

Let's put it this way: Actually you cannot re-license OCL to CC-BY-SA. 
But most probably no one of the old contributors cares (that includes 
me, and I did not care for the switch to CC0, either).

In order to change licenses at will, the Blender Foundation would need a 
CLA.

Cheers,
Gottfried
