Jonathon,

So, if you make a song and release it BY-NC, I cam make a new song based on 
yours and release mine BY-NC as well and get paid royalties on my song 
without violating your NC license? If so, I am sure we would all like to know 
how this works. (Without arrangements between us outside the scope of the 
license.)

I know I can collect royalties on my own original song which I put an NC 
license on.
