I believe you can grant further permissions than the licence provides.
For example, CC licences (as far as I call recall) require attribution
unless the author waives the right to attribution.

As I read it, you want to use attribution-noncommercial for your code
samples, but also say "I don't want to you to charge other people for
this code, but you are welcome to use it in your own commercial projects.
Oh, and you don't need to retain my attribution if you don't want to."
