The thing is that nobody really knows what commercial means, so using
this license is barely more permissive than All Rights Reserved.  With
an NC license a user is probably safe doing anything which is plainly
fair use, such as making a copy for your grandmother, and anything
else is back to the same old game of wondering whether the rights
holders will exercise their discretion and sue.
