I have never proposed any requirement like this.

No, if the license is a CC-BY and not CC-BY-SA style license, then it
would not.  It is true that copyleft doesn't play nicely in most cases
with other licenses.  But for Wikinews, there seems to be pretty strong
sentiment against using a copyleft license for various reasons that
strike me as valid.
