Of course, the other issue is CC licenses are confusing enough as it is. This seems to suggest that Commons endorses the non-commercial license in some sense.
This license combination seems to be created solely to make commercial use as hard as possible whilst salving the uploader's conscience that it is still "free" (as it is technically...). If we just retag them to GFDL and move on would there be an issue?
