Either advocacy or partnerships. Would be nice to see that license
deprecated or at least no longer supported by Creative Commons.

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.

So it seems to me that it is the Foundation not the movement that
controls
the licensing.
