It looks like Wikipedia goes to great lengths to avoid holding content that is subject to the non-commercial limitation of the Creative Commons licence.

I’ve considered putting a book together, but I figured it’d be for ego reasons – not to make money because the amount of time it would take to put together. 😛

If you provide your work under a Creative Commons licence, you cannot revoke that licence or choose who can make use of it. CC licences are designed to encourage free and open use of content, as long as it’s within the terms of the licence.

If Marcus wanted to ensure he got paid for commercial uses of his photos, he’d need to choose a -NC (non-commercial) variant of the licence, and then potential commercial users would have to negotiate a licence (and it’s not necessary to sign up with any organisation to do that, though there can be benefits).

This still allows people to use material for reports and research and the like under the fair dealing exemption.

Writers should be paid for their material and allowing others to just use your work for their gain really undermines everyone’s right to be paid. You do a lot of work that should be recognized for its true value.

p.s. the section you quote from Wikipedia doesn’t alter your right to be paid royalties – provided you are signed up!
