I am not sure that he is allowed to add to the (C) work under the statutory
license. He is only allowed to cover the (C) work and get a (P) on his
phonorecording as I understand things. I could easily be wrong and welcome
learned corrections.

No, in fact, he is not doing exactly what I would want him to do. I would want
him to release his cover BY-SA. He would be suing the law to force me to do
something I don't want to do.
