Perhaps I made a mistake with requiring noncommercial in the license, I don’t know, but I’ll look at the links provided about free documentation and free software and see if I can understand the issues more and perhaps make a better decision.

I might have a remote hope that it would be something that would receive attention from a traditional publisher, but that remote hope is in the same category as a remote hope that a distant rich uncle will someday name me in his well. So, given the minuscule odds of that happening, I’ll probably remove the NC portion. I’ll just do a bit of research first with those links.
