I guess in the context of (or comparison to) a CC license (which I don't have 
an intuitive understanding of), you are probably right.

But, in comparison to:

   * a GPL license, you are allowing a non-GPL'd fork

   * a "commercial license", you are allowing them to compete with you at no 
cost and with no return to you (by "commercial license" I mean a case where 
you are not licensing under some free/open license but instead want to sell 
and profit from your work--of course, you probably wouldn't be posting your 
music on a site like this in that case)

So, whether it is rights or not, you are losing/giving up something, and 
should decide carefully whether you want to do so or not.
