It's actually broader than making a profit -- it refers to "monetary gain":

"When other people use or trade or copy your work, they cannot do so for "monetary compensation or financial gain," unless they get your permission."

That seems like it would eliminate anyone making money off of it, even if they don't make a real profit.

There's no way to make the same determination for individuals, however
individual use doesn't seem to be the main concern here.

Well, it was a concern for me. Does the CC-NC require the person
be a NonProfit entity? Or does it just require "not making a profit?"


The latter - not making profit.
