Those who currently use NC as an anti-commercial tool are free to
continue doing so. The goal of my proposal is to expand the commons into
a vast new area that has previously been neglected. A simple and
well-known license that eliminates almost all transaction costs
traditionally associated with copyright could revolutionize the
commercial market the same way that current CC licenses and GNU GPL have
revolutionized non-commercial culture and software development,
respectively.
