Actually, this is the reason I like it and use it. You can negotiate another
license if BY-SA will not do for you. I just wish it worked more like this

Someone is going to have to negotiate rights with you for your video if you
don't use BY-SA so why should you not negotiate rights as well?
(Generic "you" there, not you specifically.)
