This reason has to do with some of the philosophy (or whatever you
want to call it) behind Wikipedia.

When they talk about Wikipedia being a Free encyclopedia... they are
talking about "Freedom".  (Not free as in gratis.  Or free of charge.)

Basically... long story short... the NC part of a CC license makes it
non-Free (as in Freedom).  Which is why they don't accept NC stuff.

(I can explain in more detail if you'd like.)


See ya
