I am actually curious what exactly you mean by "later charged for"? Do you
want to put content up on the web under a non-commercial license and then
later remove the license, or how exactly want to commercialize....???

Thanks

All CC licences can be used to build 'critical mass' in a media, forum,
channel, encoding, etc. All CC licences can be used as a point of
differentiation from traditionally licensed content.

Red Hat does make money by selling free content with added editorial value,
it also makes money from certification (of software, hardware and
individuals), from consulting, from contract programming (typically
migrating applications to Red Hat or support for new hardware), publishing,
etc.
