"
: a license granted by a licensee that grants some or all of the rights (as 
to 
a patent) acquired under the original license"

Fine, but in context, doesn't the "all of the rights" part happen 
automatically as part of the original license?

If I release a work CC BY, the people who get the work and the rights from me 
cannot give the work to others with those same rights? That makes no sense.

What does it mean in context, what activities does it restrict?

Would it restrict what is trying to be restricted on the page in question?

http://www.incompetech.com/music/collections/royalty-free/rock.html

"This music may not be resold as part of a royalty-free music collection."

I don't understand why that would be restricted as long as the CC BY terms 
were followed.
