can someone explain to me why non-commercial creative commons licenses are not open when applied to scholarly articles?
I've heard this statment a lot but I'm not 100% on the underlying logic.
@vickysteeves Honestly, though, I don’t know what the arguments are. I just tend to not use NC overall because it’s ambiguous what would count. My uni charges for courses...is that a commercial use if I use something for a course? (For example)
@clhendricksbc I think the ambiguity is the biggest problem, you're right. I wish instead of NC the license was 'nonprofit'
