Interestingly, I saw a "debate" between Rory McGreal and Stepben Downes 
online about the relative merits of CC BY and CC BY-NC where Stephen was 
arguing that NC was not more restrictive.  I'm afraid I was with Rory on 
that one as I believe restricting commercial use would be a barrier to the 
dissemination of knowledge.

Is the OERu agnostic on this?
