The concern isn't the "Jenkins Project" - that's non-profit and can use it
at will. It's the *end users*. Their FAQ claims:
NON-COMMERCIAL REDISTRIBUTION.
You are allowed to distribute a Highsoft software product with
non-commercial packages given that you fulfill two conditions:
- Emphasize to your users that a Highsoft software product is not free
for commercial use. You can do this on your download page or when your
users activate a Highsoft software product in your application.
- Provide a link back to this web page in the same location.
Whether you can use a (CC BY-NC 3.0) in your commercial organisation is
entirely determined on whether you are gaining "commercial advantage" by
doing so. I would argue that for most plugins and companies this is not the
case. But assuredly that would be a matter for lawyers.
