NC and ND don't actually do what half the people who say they want
them think they do. What is 'commercial use'? What is a derivative
work?  How does the page that includes the image not manage to be a
derivative work, etc.

The simple fact that so many users would love to use such licenses for
their own work without considering the consequences is why we can not
permit them.
