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-comm...
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.
