Yes, and I think that accounts for my disagreement with Heather over the 
education exception. Education is non-commercial in that sense, but not in 
the sense used in the NC license.

The renaming sounds like a good idea to me, as well. "Commercial Rights 
Reserved" makes it clear that you are restricting the rights of people to use 
works under this license.
