Regarding [1], I disagree; it does not matter whether the work is commercial, since the SA module makes no distinction between commercial and non-commercial works, and certainly most non-commercial works’ licences aren’t ‘similar’ to CC–BY–SA. —xyzzy_n 23:19, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I make that distinction because it's one of the most common things people are worried about when I'm helping them choose a free license: they don't want their work to be exploited by greedy corporations. I agree that there is no official distinction between CC-BY and CC-BY-SA when it comes to commercial use. But there's a huge practical distinction: a work containing a CC-BY image can be sold under simple copyright, which companies do all the time. A work containing a CC-BY-SA image can only be sold under CC-BY-SA, which is almost unheard of. --Carnildo 01:17, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
