The non-commercial license makes this wiki incompatible with all other CC licenses, including those of Wikipedia and some Fediverse sites. See https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Wiki/cc_license_compatibility. Why was it chosen?

An example of disadvantage is this notification on my timeline after the "NC" was queried when I suggested that much of FediThing's helpful material could be duplicated here:

"FediThing @FediThing@tech.lgbt

"@RFPatterson

"Unfortunately it looks like the licences aren't compatible, so they cannot use my text under their licence:

"https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Wiki/cc_license_compatibility

"However, the basic facts are in the public domain so if they want to write stuff in their own words they can do so."
