The NonCommmercial (NC) term has for CC's entire history been more popular than ShareAlike and NoDerivatives, the other two optional terms in the CC license suite, though its popularity has slowly but steadily declined.[1] The term as it has appeared in all generic/international versions thus far (1.0,[2] 2.0,[3] 2.5,[4] 3.0[5]):
- 'You may not exercise any of the rights granted to You in Section 3 above in any manner that is primarily intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation. The exchange of the Work for other copyrighted works by means of digital file-sharing or otherwise shall not be considered to be intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation, provided there is no payment of any monetary compensation in connection with the exchange of copyrighted works.
This is reflected on NC license deeds as:[6]
- Noncommercial — You may not use this work for commercial purposes.
Also in the CC license chooser, with the following question:[7]
- Allow commercial uses of your work? ( ) Yes ( ) No
