That's how I reacted at first. But then thought it better to ask  :)

If anyone else used the content under the NC license and showed
adverts that would be bad.

But much of Boing Boing is quotation from other sites, and you can go
to the sources of this material to use it under the terms of its
license or within the limits of Fair Use.

Great. Thanks for making it all clear.

Cheers!
