Hello everyone,
Just stumbled upon an page where Swiss collecting society SUISA lists
things which they consider commercial use within CC NC licenses, as
applied to works they have copyright on (delegated from authors who are
their members). It's quite interesting and I think it is a very good
example for advocating for fully free/libre licensing of works.
Here's the page:
https://www.suisa.ch/en/members/authors/how-to-register-a-work/creative-com…
The list of uses that they consider commercial use is quite
interesting. For instance, it includes things like:
- involving a counterpart, of a financial or other nature, regardless of the beneficiary,
title or grounds;
- in exchange for other goods, whether or not the exchange generates
direct or indirect revenues or gives rise to a payment of any nature
whatsoever;
- at places of work;
Best,
Yury.
