Use with advertising on the page was ranked, on average, as just as commercial as selling a copy though the numbers skewed down as elements were added such as individual site and ads just covering their hosting. It's definitely not a cut and dry issue by any stretch but it is always better to be safe than sorry. It seems like you should.

It seems like they have the balance pretty good at the moment but you are right that there is a risk with doing too much one way or another.

Early on, I would email the image owner for persmission if they had specified only non-commercial use, but most people seemed surprised by the question and all of them gave me permission, so I stopped checking. Now I'm wondering if I should still check with the owner every time.

So, in other words, it might be wise not to resolve some of the conflicting interpretations by (all-too) clear license modifications in version 4.0.

“the definition of noncommercial use contained within the CC license (”…any manner that is primarily intended for or directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation”)”

Isn't that the definition of *commercial* use?
