I just feel uneasy about Commons saying "here's an image: you can use it under either of these licenses", when one is non-free. If contributors want to offer non-free licenses they can, but ideally it should not feel like Commons endorses it - "Contact me for alternative licenses" as opposed to a NC-license on the image page.
I agree with this reasoning.
I've long invited people to contact me for alternative terms, and I think thats the best way to go.
I agree. Although I love seeing CC BY and BY-SA used here, I don't see any point in noting the availability of a work under any license that is unacceptable to the Commons, nor if the unacceptable license is a CC license as it is in this discussion, can I see how that would encourage the use of acceptable CC licenses in the long term.
