Gak! No! Absolutely Not!
Once John releases a work CC-NC, no one can
take the NonCommercial restriction away without
contacting John and getting an exception.
One of the biggest points for using CC-NC is for
artists to let their work get distributed out
into the public, but requiring the artist's permission
(usually acquired for a sum of money) to use the
work commercially.
