I'm trying to better understand the noncommercial attribution - namely,
what is "commercial" usage?
Clearly reselling someone's work is "commercial", no questions there.
But what about usage in commercial activity that isn't commerce? For
instance:
- Using an image in a powerpoint slide for your business venture (or
heck, even a non-profit)
- Using an image on a web site for your business or organization
Maybe I'm just not well versed enough in the legalities, but to me,
that's a big huge part of the point of CC - making it easy enough that I
don't have to be a lawyer to understand. :)
Anyway, please let me know if I'm missing something obvious.
Thanks!
Jake
