[cc-community] Non Commercial guidelines

At www.everystockphoto.com, feedback from flickr users led us to delist 
all NC/ND photos because we have adds on the site. Although we are a 
search engine, these users felt that we were violating the terms of 
these licenses, 1. by indexing NC photos on a site with ads, 2. by 
making thumbnails of out ND photos.

I cant quite figure it out via that flowchart.

Would love to hear other people's opinions.
