Since CC BY has no license requirements other than attribution, I
would think it could be used in any work as long as attribution is
given, including ARR work. Hopefully the Wikimedia's request for true
interoperability will finally get filled by CC and FSF; I know it's
been on the table for some time now.
Best,
