Hello,

I noticed that there are conflicting proposals (1 and 2) on the 4.0 NC wiki page, one to make the license more conservative and one to make it more liberal. I also noticed that proposal 7 was about to repalce NC with a NonProfit license. Why not split NC into two separate Creative Commons licenses?

NonCommercial could keep the more conservative definition, and NonProfit could keep the liberal definition. For example, it could be clarified that the use of a licensed work on an ad-supported website is disallowed under NC, but allowed under NP. (Of course, if it seems better, NP could be conservative and NC could be liberal.) Could we make this an official proposal to be considered for 4.0?

Thanks,
Kerrick Long
