Description Liangent 2012-06-12 15:22:01 UTC 
Before CC was introduced in MediaWiki, lots of sites are using GFDL and creating free content. However, people without a good knowledge of free culture tend to choose CC-by-nc-sa and have non-free content hosted on their wikis nowadays. This reduces the whole amount of free content we can have in the world.
Comment 1 Liangent 2012-06-12 15:29:05 UTC 
By the way, ad extensions (such as AdSense) should refuse to work (at least with some warnings) on a nc site. Contributors contributed content with a non-commercial term, so the wiki operator shouldn't use it to get revenue from ads.
