"Noncommercial" is hard to define and AFAIK it doesn't have an
established legal definition.  The article linked from the following
page might be useful to someone who wants to dive deeper:

In the case of OCLC (and similar nonprofits such as W3C, Crossref, and
CAS) the question is whether the nonprofit is using the work for
financial gain. I can't predict what a court would say.

I don't monitor this list regularly. If in the future you have
Creative Commons related questions you might want to cc: me (so to
speak) or email me directly.
