I don't think it really matters.  You can offer the appendix to the 
world under a SA license, and still allow Wiley to publish it under 
whatever private arrangement you have for the rest of the book.

If you were trying to include someone else's SA content in the book then 
you'd probably have the issue you're contemplating.

IANAL, etc.
