My understanding is that it's considered legal to mix CC-BY and
CC-BY-SA articles, as long as the resultant combined work is labeled
CC-BY-SA. So if that's the case, you could import WP content under the
new licensing regime, but the Wikinews article would then become
CC-BY-SA.

Copying CC's Mike Linksvayer in case he wants to weigh in.
