More permissive license after adapting CC-BY4.0?

I'm adapting content released under CC-BY4.0 programatically (think regex and reformatting). I'm then releasing my adapted content, giving credit to the author of the content that was the origin of the now adapted content.
Am I then allowed to give a more permissive license to "my own" adapted content (that does not including the original data that was under CC-BY4.0)? I was thinking WTFPL or similar.

Adapted works of CC-BY licensed works are not restricted to the same license. You may use any license for the adapted work, as long as proper attribution is preserved.
However, you are using mechanical transformations to modify the original work. As these transformations lack any element of creativity, you have no copyright for “your†modifications and therefore no right to issue a copyright license of your own for this adapted content. (However, the threshold of originality is jurisdiction-dependent.)
In particular, section 2(a)(4) allows technical modifications of the work for format shifting, and states that “For purposes of this Public License, simply making modifications authorized by this Section 2(a)(4) never produces Adapted Material.†Purely presentational changes definitively fall under this section.
So while you may not be able to issue your own license for the transformed works, you may license a service or a software to perform this transformation (but not the transformed works themselves), and you may hold database rights to a collection of these works (but not to the individual works).

So you are saying that the software that I created to do the actual adaptation (the software that does the regex) can be licenced as I please, but not the adaptation-result itself? Thank you very much for your reply.

@TragedyStruck Exactly, that matches my understanding.
