Hi Elisa.
Yes, CC-BY would be the most flexible. If you don't mind the contents
used in other CC-BY publications, this is the best license that
preserves credit for yourself and anyone else who has contributed.
Please note, if there are other authors/contributors, you MUST get
their permission before changing the license, and they must all agree
to change it to CC-BY.
Thanks very much for your help! We look forward to helping complete
your very good document.
