Creative Commons was found due to the failure to stop the Copyright Term Extension Act. This ever increasing control is imposed on us in the name of the benefits of the creators, with the latest incarnation as the Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market. By giving creators tools to receive revenue without retaining full copyright, we can demonstrate that open business models are viable alternatives other than control. The success of "Made with Creative Commons" strongly indicated that Open Business Models should be an integrated part of the Creative Commons Movement https://ccglobalsummit2019lisbonportugal.sched.com/event/MmjR/opening-night-program

4. Non-Commercial Questions
Can NC-licensed content be used in the
Wikipedia project? – No
How does NC affect mashups? – Not all CC
licenses can be combined with each other
Can a CC license with the NC module prevent my
content from being used by radicals or
extremists? – No

5. Does the NC module prevent
commercial usage?
Many companies see breaches of copyright
law as a mere financial risk
and may intentionally defy its restrictions
