Yes, CC-BY allows modification. IIUC CC-BY-SA would preclude any more than "fair use" quantities of material anywhere that is not itself licensed by CC_BY_SA. For example this might preclude use of newsletter articles on software blogging sites if they have non-CC-BY-SA licenses. So I am not in favor of CC-BY-SA.
Well, I think its not 100% true. Short, you can do what every you want with it if you keep points in mind: BY and redistribute derivates and the original by CC-BY-SA. This is not enforcing you to move your whole blog to CC.
Quote CC-BY-SA "All new works based on yours will carry the same license,", IIUC a blog that contains significant content becomes a derivative work, and so has to have CC-BY-SA as well. But most blog sites (especially ones hosted by others, usually have other licenses and terms and conditions that make it hard to change just one blog to a different license.
Cheers Lex
If using CC-BY how should attribution be required? Perhaps "Geany newsletter team" and (if online) link to Geany website.
Yepp, that's what I had in my mind.
