Thank you for your interest in the NC license term. If you are looking for the document previously posted on this page as the "NC Draft Discussion Guidelines", please be aware that having served its purpose to prompt discussion of the NC term, it has been taken down. As a result of feedback on the draft discussion guidelines and many other conversations that have taken place within the community, CC has begun a major study focused on understandings of "noncommercial use". The results of this study, funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, will be made publicly available in 2009. For more information on the study, you can read the announcement.

As part of the study, later this year CC will be conducting a poll of interested community members. Please watch for the announcement and participate!
