I've looked some more and here are some specifics. The definition of non-commercial use is complicated enough that MIT and Creative Commons have put forward quite different interpretations of the same license - is it about "the user" or "the use"? See: Creative Commons vs MIT OCW: Interpreting the Noncommercial Clause David Wiley http://opencontent.org/blog/archives/307 Note that Creative Commons is still in flux about this - see also the other complexities at: http://wiki.creativecommons.org/DiscussionDraftNonCommercial_Guidelines In early 2008 we will be re-engaging that discussion and will be undertaking a serious study of the NonCommercial term which will result in changes to our licenses and/or explanations around them. What particular commercial uses are the authors of the Training Manual concerned about? Is it licensed under other terms for some users? And thanks again - it is very nicely done!
