I suspect that the wording of 2a2 is a bit sloppy, and that the "to
create" is intended to cover Adapted Material. In any case the way I
understand the way this is supposed to work. is that the original IP
rights (and the associated licence) continue to exist in a derived work
so even if not stated explicitly 2a2 would still apply. Further there
are a number of open issues with CC by 4.0 based licences that remain
unresolved, see the discussion on legal-talk.in May 2015.
