One of the major problems with the CC-NC contract, is that there is no
precise legal definition that is applicable across the board of "non
commercial usage".

really? where is the second? i'm only aware of this one: http:// creativecommons.org/weblog/entry/5752 (which is the same as that which appears on the wiki: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/ NonCommercial_Guidelines)

Compounding the issue is that there are two
different guidelines of what "non commercial" means on the CC website.
[One supersedes the other, but the old one does not point to the new
one.] Scattered around the net, are at least half a dozen
interpretations/understandings of what that contract means to the person
who is using the licence.

Given the extremely diverse interpretations of the CC-NC licence, it
appears that nobody is clear on what it permits, and what it restricts.
