I wish people would stop referring to "creative common licenses" as if they were even remotely comparable. The license in this case is CC BY-NC-SA which at least allows derivatives but really anything NC should not exist in CC even if its not as bad as the no-derivate jokes.

CC = "Creative Commons" not "Covetous Corporations"

If you're trying to make a profit, you can invest capital to do your own development or reach out to the source to arrange compensation.

This astroturfing of open licenses as if they are solely for the exploitation of profit and not of the common good is a terrible trend.

They engineered something and gave it away for free. It appears as if you are complaining that you can't use it to generate profit. This seems entitled to me, am I misunderstanding your position?
