The idea that NC is "open and free" is
growing like a cancer in Brazil and
Portugal. I've been noticing that for some time already, and I do believe
we as a Movement should have some sort of plan or strategy to fight that -
and never indulge in accepting NC as a valid license for the Wikimedia
projects, as IMO it really hinders our mission of a free and open project.

I'm not quite sure what you mean here. Firstly, this isn't the right
venue
for a discussion of the general principle of
non-commercial licensing,
especially as the Foundation has decided on the use of licences that
permit
commercial reuse.
In my opition it's
not a terribly offtopic subject for this list, but
let my clarify that my intent is not to revisit the current licensing
policy of Wikimedia projects.
I just thought that this could be useful to someone advocating for the
use of fully libre licenses (the ones without any non-commercial
clauses) outside Wikimedia projects, as it shows how the non-commercial
clause could be interpreted by some actors that have resources and
rights to go to court over your use of the work.
And secondly, there's nothing to prevent a
rights owner
from granting a full/libre licence if they want to for the works they
own:
so why would one need to advocate for it, here or
anywhere else?
Because many people think that non-commercial is good enough, for
instance MPs establishing laws touching Freedom of Panorama.
Best,
Yury.
