Why doesn't it work?

CC0 is the next best thing.

Except that we don't.

Actually, if I could use any license for my own personal works, I'd probably
use this, which I think is morally equivalent to CC-SA, but a lot simpler:

"Copying, distribution, public performance, public display, digital audio
transmission, and use of this work is permitted without restriction.
Circumvention of any technological measure or measures which effectively
control access to this work is permitted without restriction. Preparation of
derivative works is permitted provided that you cause any such work to be
licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of
this License."

Of course, it's based on US law.  So while it's fine for my works, it's not
the best for an international project.  So it's great that we had Creative
Commons to come up with an international equivalent.
