Actually, CC-BY stuff can be used, in some sense. 
http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-a classifies it 
(under the name "CC-A") as a category A license, i.e., "similar in terms 
to the Apache License 2.0" and allows it to be "included within Apache 
products" provided a NOTICE file (or section?) is included.

But, as Rob suggested, getting the author to agree with relicensing 
under the very similar Apache License would be best. If we can't, I 
don't see problems in reusing this work so long as we include a notice 
crediting the author.
