Please find a quote for that. I'm not convinced. Relicensing adapted

by the copyright holder. And I can't find that permission in CC BY.

No, it wouldn't. That's what makes CC BY different from CC BY-SA.

(And I think you mean "licensing" rather than "relicensing", assuming
we are both talking about the first time that the *adapted work* is
licensed to the public.)

  And I can't find that permission in CC BY.
