This would only apply to people using BY and BY-SA and BY even more than 
BY-SA. Unless someone envisions people willing to pay for a BY-NC use license 
to avoid some super strict attribution on the NC work. I doubt this would 
happen but would be interested in counter thoughts.

For BY-SA it might be an interesting way to distinguish between uses 
which "seriously" promote Free works and those that are more on the free ride 
end of use. Not sure it makes sense though. Thoughts?

all the best,
