This was discussed a number of times[sic.] onwiki and there was no consensus at all to
allow NC on commons.
Citing from Commons:Village pump/Copyright: "One of Wikimedia Commons' basic
principles is: "Only free content is allowed." Please do not ask why unfree
material is not allowed at Wikimedia Commons or suggest that allowing it would be a good
thing.ump/Copyright"
I agree with Gnangarra .

Betreff: Re: [Wikimedia-l] Commons
the NC discussion from memory fell in that they impacted the ability to
include them in Wikipedia pages that are then rebroadcast by people like
Google and
answers.com because it was a more restrictive license.

restricted the images to noncommercial use only. There are some media
files that I would have uploaded to Commons if this was the case.
I have seen at least previous discussion about this but I can't
remember what happened to it. My guess is that the proposal died for
lack of consensus or lack of energy. I remember that one proposed
solution was to set up another website for media files that would
allow media with NC restrictions.

Anecdotally, it seems people sometimes don't upload their photos to
Commons
because they don't realize that the scope of Commons is much
broader than that of Wikipedia.
Has there been, or should there be, any research into this, or why
people
don't contribute more broadly?
