If we copy a Groklaw story completely, then we can only make it available with the same license as Groklaw. I base this on section 4.a, which says that you are not allowed to sublicense the work. Giving it another (our) license is sublicensing.
In case of a derivative work, section 4.a doesn't apply. In that case we are able to apply our own license. But we are required to point to the original work, mention the copyright notices (see section 4.c) and say that the orignal work is released under the CCL (section 8.b).
Under our license we (or anybody else) are not allowed to copy other peoples work to Groklaw.
