	abstract = {The Creative Commons {(CC)} licenses are a suite of copyright-based licenses defining terms for the distribution and re-use of creative works. {CC} provides licenses for different use cases and includes open content licenses such as the Attribution license {(CC} {BY}, used by many Open Access scientific publishers) and the Attribution Share Alike license {(CC} {BY-SA}, used by Wikipedia, for example). However, the license suite also contains non-free and non-open licenses like those containing a {\textquotedblleft}non-commercial{\textquotedblright} {(NC)} condition. Although many people identify {\textquotedblleft}non-commercial{\textquotedblright} with {\textquotedblleft}non-profit{\textquotedblright}, detailed analysis reveals that significant differences exist and that the license may impose some unexpected re-use limitations on works thus licensed. After providing background information on the concepts of Creative Commons licenses in general, this contribution focuses on the {NC} condition, its advantages, disadvantages and appropriate scope. Specifically, it contributes material towards a risk analysis for potential re-users of {NC-licensed} works.},
