The implication being that there's no value at all in non-commercial
rights? That's awfully narrow-minded. Fan-fiction, as well as
educational, public-service, and hobbyist collective works are all
non-commercial uses which could benefit from a large NC commons; I'm
sure there are others.

It's obvious that we're not going to see eye to eye on this one. If your
agenda is to promote higher utilization of BY-SA licenses, I think
that's great: it would be nice to see more works allowing unencumbered
(an unencumberable!) derivatives. I just think the commons is big enough
to support everyone's agenda, regardless of where they fit in the
spectrum of rights.
