We all agree NC licenses are poor. The WMF position
was a reflection of the
community's position at the time and this likely remains the community's
position today.
If we as a movement however were to decide we want to allow NC video such
that we can use Khan academy and Ted talks I doubt the WMF would veto it.
We do count as non commercial. It would however decrease the incentive for
these groups to drop NC but they are unlikely to regardless.
Not sure if the strategy process is considering this specific question.

Per "the Foundation has decided", it is
not the foundation but our
movement
that has decided that we will mostly only allow
licenses that allow
commercial reuse.
That doesn't seem quite right. The Foundation Board adopted a resolution
on 23 March 2007, which is published at
https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Resolution:Licensing_policy and
cross-referred to on Wikipedia as still current, headed
This policy is approved by the Wikimedia
Foundation Board of Trustees
<https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Board_of_Trustees>.
It may not be circumvented, eroded, or ignored by Wikimedia Foundation
officers or staff nor local policies of any Wikimedia project
<https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Our_projects>.
and statng
- All projects are expected to host only content which is under a Free
Content License, or which is otherwise free as recognized by the
'Definition of Free Cultural Works' as referenced above.
So it seems to me that it is the Foundation not the movement that
controls
the licensing.
