Nice site, simple and useful. But I find the implementation of CC+  
confusing. When I click on the "+" sign I'm directed to a page which  
says that I can use some works for commercial purposes, but with no  
other conditions stated for such use.

There's just a donation button, but that has no effect on the license.  
Moreover, if I click on what sketchory calls a "sketchory commercial  
license" all I get is the description of a CC BY license with slightly  
different wording.

It looks to me like these works should be licensed under CC BY. What  
is the point of saying this is "BY-NC CC+" rather than just stating  
that some works are under BY and some under BY-NC?
