I think it is a great practice. It establishes the intention of the licensor pretty clearly and if there were a conflict with the legal form, I would expect the legal form to be repaired, not for the deed to be complexified.

(Or at least if I am normal, if not, abnormal people like me.) And BY-SA is my preferred license for my non-code works.

They’re just a summary of varying degrees of accuracy. Have we figured out what ‘non-commercial’ or ‘no derivatives’ actually means?
