No, not NC. People should be able to feed themselves for their work
With a NC license, the author still can sell the work and make money. It’s just that other people can’t.
Yes. And other people should be able to use other people's work to make derivative works to feed themselves
I think that’s best left up to the author. Sometimes someone might prefer that their art stay independent of capitalism. I think that is a respectable position.
You're not a capitalist because you need to buy food
But selling other peoples’ labor would introduce it to the capitalist system. Not saying that makes you a capitalist. Just saying some people might want to keep their art out of that system.
That is entirely up to the author who is creating the original work. They set the license and people can choose whether or not they want to work with the license. If i wanted to use someone else's work for commercial purposes then i would just ignore any works released under a NC license. I'm not entitled to someone else's work just because i need to eat
Assholes choose not to copyleft. Assholes choose NC licensees too
