It would have to probably go to court to really flesh out what this means-I’m not interested in being a guinea pig in any case.When I said I don’t use CC:NC works, I am mainly refferring to anyhting I might later monetize on. I try not to use them in slides, because I reuse slides, and it’s not outside the realm of possibilty that I could get paid for a talk (Actually, I just did my first paid talk this last Tuesday.) Also, if I put a lot of stuff out there, I might not know which works I can monetize on later. If something covered by a non commercial license becomes something I can monetize on, I have to track down permission. But, if I can’t find the original author, or if they don’t want to let me use it for a commercial purpose, then I am out of luck. Easier all around to stick to licenses that don’t have that restriction then all I have to keep in regards to the image is the original authors name and a link, and I’ve upheld my part of the agreement.This brings up another interesting point, though- if an artist is a prolific user of CC images, it can get damn hard to keep track of all the people you have to credit. I have started keeping this kind of information in a jpeg’s EXIF data, so I am fairly sure it will not become detached from the image. With physical artworks, I might just write the proper attributions on the back or something. It would be interesting to see how people use the CC licenses and keep track of them.Also, just as an aside- I have not been making much in the way of art lately (unless you call my snapshots and doodles art.) So a lot of this, for me, is academic. After I am done with school, I may sell artwork again, and I reserve the right to review the terms I have set for myself. :)(OK, that brings up ANOTHER interesting possibility- what if a creator changes or revokes a license later on? Do you have to adhere to the new license? Hmm.)
