I assume from this that you mean CC-BY-NC. The GPL does not restrict commercial use and in fact specifically defends the right for anyone to use the work in any way whatsoever. I would advise against the non-commercial clause because it prevents non-profit organisations like Debian from including your work because in turn they would have to restrict redistributers charging for CDs or other physical copies of your digital work. Preventing free software distributions from selling CDs would be exceptionally harmful. -- Noah Slater <http://bytesexual.org/> "Creativity can be a social contribution, but only in so far as society is free to use the results." - R.
