I found an interesting rare book which is available as a non-standard .xml file. It's offered under a
CC BY-SA license, and since it's over 100 yeas old it's most likely out of copyright in most countries.
Since the ebook conversion would be rather difficult and time-consuming I'm wondering if I could sell it for a nominal fee.
According to the CC BY-SA license:

Does that mean that I could only sell it as a DRM-free ePub, because any other format would prevent others from "adapting the work?"
