I have a blog online under a Creative Commons Attribution license. I would like to monetize it by offering monthly content database of the blog content for sale to developers at a low price of 1 USD. This will enable developers to build mobile and iPAD apps which have offline content.
Is this legal under the Creative Commons Attribution license?
