The Creative Commons License explicitly allows that, yes.

You'd be mistaken.

Stack Exchange explicitly specifies the Creative Commons Attribution 
Share Alike license. 

That's not ill defined and extends to everyone irrespective of whom SE 
deems applicable. It explicitly allows everyone access, not just SE. If they 
hadn't intended that, they wouldn't have specified a license that explicitly 
exists for the very purpose of extending universal access.
