Not a view I disagree with, personally!

One interesting example the blog post brings up - a
nonprofit-with-ads, paying for hosting costs that way, is that
commercial? 60% of creators say it is non-commercial, whilst *70%* of
reusers think so - which really does begin to sound like a recipe for
unintentionally annoying a lot of people releasing material under the
license.

I wonder, perhaps, if the best thing the next generation of the -nc-
licenses could include would be a long list of worked examples...
