Please find a quote for that. I'm not convinced. Relicensing adapted
work under different conditions would require the explicit permission
by the copyright holder. And I can't find that permission in CC BY.

(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.)
