Defining 'non -commercial use'

[Patrice Riemens]

Donestech (A Catalan women technologists organisation) did a study about
how people understand the concept of 'non-commercial' in licenses, esp CC.

From the intro:
Defining “Noncommercial”: A Study of How the Online Population Understands
“Noncommercial Use”

Almost one year ago we launched a study of how people understand
“noncommercial use.” The study, generously supported by The Andrew W.
Mellon Foundation, included in-depth interviews and two waves of in-person
and online focus groups and online questionnaires. The last included a
random sample of U.S. (geographic restriction mandated by resource
constraints) internet users and in an extended form, open questionnaires
promoted via this blog (called “CC Friends & Family” in the report).

Donestech has re-published this blog post without attributing it to

Sorry, I stand corrected. As does Donestech bwo of Alex H.:

"uy uy
non ce n'est pas donestech sinon CC qui a commandité l'étude à un labo
dans donestech on publie tout les trucs interessant, merde nous avons du
prêter à confusion"

Aie Aie, no, it's not donestech but CC who asked a lab to do this study.
On donestech we publish all kind of interesting things, now sh%^$#&!, we
have probably caused confusion".

On my side I should have read the report before fwding it to Commons-law.
Sorry!

cheers, patrizo and Diiiinooos!
