While this is (IMHO) a sensible interpretation of
"non-commercial", it
is NOT the interpretation given by CC itself.

The fact that an organization is commercial in nature is
enough to make
ANY USE by it "commercial", according to CC's own
guidelines.

I think that's non-sensical, but that's what they said.

It's yet another example of why the NC module is bad -- it
never
provides any explicit and legally-accountable definition of
what
"commercial" and "non-commercial" mean.

Cheers,
Terry
