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.
