We've been having the "what is commercial use" discussion on the web for years now. Google ads? Amazon affiliate links? PayPal donate button? What constitutes "commercial" exactly? Sadly, it will probably be determined in by the courts on a case-by-case basis. Until then, if you release your work under a CC license, you might as well outline what you think it means, as I've attempted to do here: http://tinkernet.org/usage/ It's the lightnet thing to do. :) Pete -- http://tinkernet.org/ videoblog for the future...
