The fine print in the footnote states who/what is _not_ an "allowable NC 
User".

That footnote should either be scrapped, or included _before_ the
first question.

IOW

1:  Are you an individual.  yes/no.  If "yes" go to question 6.  If
no, go to question 2.

2: Does your organization have 501(c)(3) status by the IRS, or the
equivalent in your country?  yes/no.  [If "Yes" go to question 3.  If
"No", go to question 4.]

3:  Is your organization one of the following:
* Educational
* Charitable
* Scientific
* Literary
yes/no

If "yes" go to question 6.
If "No", then the proposed use is commercial, and violates the NC licence.

4:  Is your organization a copy shop, ISP, or similar service, who in
the course of providing a service at the direction of an allowable NC
User, may exercise a right licenced under the CC licence?

If "Yes", go to question 6.  If "No", then the proposed use is
commercial, and violates the NC licence.

5: Is your organization religious?

If "Yes", then the proposed use is commercial, and violates the NC licence.

6: Is the NC Licenced content being used in an advertisement for third
party products or services?

yes/no.

If "Yes", then the usage is commercial, and violates the NC licence.
If "No" go to question 7.

############

Can anybody explain why religious organizations would not qualify as
"an allowable NC User"?

Is there any reason why 501(c)(4) organizations do not qualify as "an
allowable NC user"?
