Not commenting on the merit of including such a variation:

Consenting to the release of something under a free license
emphatically *does not* mean "granting unrestricted rights to
redistribute the media for any purpose." In particular, under many
licenses, the redistribution is restricted by the requirement that the
new copies also be provided under a free license. They also usually
require that the creator be attributed.

You may wish to rethink the wording of that, a bit.
