I also agree with the sentiment that there is a difference between direct and indirect commercial re-use – I don’t think the current CC licenses accommodate that. An amateur blogger making a few dollars from google ads is also very different from a professional publishing venture running the same ads, but I’m not sure how you define that in an easy to understand CC license, particularly as Google themselves are a large, commercial enterprise (although, they do also provide a lot back to the Internet commons).

Last year Creative Commons did a study assessing perceptions of what “noncommercial” means. Not sure if it will lead to more clarity, but it does flesh out the discussion:
