The problem with that kind of simplified explanation of what 
CC-BY-SA means is that content that is "licensed for use on 
Wikipedia" will be rejected from Wikipedia.  Only content that is 
"licensed for use anywhere by anybody" will be accepted.  That 
difference is the hardest one to explain, and can't really be 
simplified away.  You would only get unhappy users who thought 
they licensed it for use on Wikipedia but not for other purposes.
