The reply suggests that advertising on a website disqualifies it from being non-commercial use. One affect of that policy is that only people who can afford to completely fund their site without advertising support may reuse the content.
The argument that employing a share-alike license destroys commercial viability is also dubious.
Hi Gerard, I shouldn't have interjected the word 'therefore' as I think there are other good reasons for autonomy as well, as I earlier surmised you do too. But I'd be interested to know why you disagree on NC. I already read Eric's arguments:

as well as this reply:

and I'd be interested to know your view.
