Development of Creative Commons licenses

[Daniel Carrera <daniel.carrera AT zmsl.com>]

Hello all,

Maybe a way to ease the ambiguity of the NC licenses is for the author 
to explain what he sees as commercial use of his work.

Real-life example:
My company sells a computer certificate program to secondary schools in 
the UK. We train the teachers and give them a web service that includes 
teaching resources. We want them to do whatever they like with the 
resources, except compete with us :)   In other words, we're happy for 
them to make money teaching from those resources, or even print the 
resources and sell them. We just don't want them to make another 
computer certificate company using those resources.

Solution:
Use Creative Commons BY-NC-SA. Add a note saying that by NC we mean 
competting with us and we explicitly allow making money by teaching or 
by selling that content.

What do you think?

Cheers,
Daniel.
