This was discussed a number of times[sic.] onwiki and there was no consensus at all to allow NC on commons.
Citing from Commons:Village pump/Copyright: "One of Wikimedia Commons' basic principles is: "Only free content is allowed." Please do not ask why unfree material is not allowed at Wikimedia Commons or suggest that allowing it would be a good thing.ump/Copyright"
I agree with Gnangarra .

the NC discussion from memory fell in that they impacted the ability to include them in Wikipedia pages that are then rebroadcast by people like Google and answers.com because it was a more restrictive license.

Personally, I wish that Commons permitted images with licenses that restricted the images to noncommercial use only. There are some media files that I would have uploaded to Commons if this was the case.
I have seen at least previous discussion about this but I can't remember what happened to it. My guess is that the proposal died for lack of consensus or lack of energy. I remember that one proposed solution was to set up another website for media files that would allow media with NC restrictions.

Anecdotally, it seems people sometimes don't upload their photos to
Commons because they don't realize that the scope of Commons is much broader than that of Wikipedia.
Has there been, or should there be, any research into this, or why
people don't contribute more broadly?
