CC-BY-SA does neither prevent, say, a BlendSwap (where there are CC-licensed and even CC0/PD models made by artists for artists, but also an exclusionary “Plans” page) from charging users for downloading a model meant to be gratis, nor prevent them from omitting external links to the artist’s own sources where anyone could get it for truly free. It does require attribution though. You can request a link to be a part of attribution. CC BY-SA license, §3.a.1.A: If You Share the Licensed Material (including in modified form), You must: retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor with the Licensed Material: I. identification of the creator(s) of the Licensed Material and any others designated to receive attribution, in any reasonable manner requested by the Licensor (including by pseudonym if designated); II. a copyright notice; . V. a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the extent reasonably practicable; I highly recommend reading both licenses in full before considering applying them to your work. The first case, for me, would be okay if said blog weren’t to exclude other people from accessing because they can’t afford paying for access If you post an NC-derivative work on YouTube or a similar blogging site, and the platform has ads or sponsorships, and the creator gets a cut of ad revenue via a monetisation program (55% on YouTube), you are violating terms of the variant. I’m not a lawyer, but I believe that even if you are not in the monetisation program you still can’t post BY-NC-… derivative works on YouTube per their terms of service because if YouTube would make even a cent from a video or a post with it they would violate this license. The second case, definitely a no-no Well, physical items can’t all be free as they require limited materials to craft (wood, fabric…) and, unlike digital goods, can’t be duplicated indefinitely. Nonetheless, BY-SA would allow everyone to make a copy of the product as close as they would like with their own materials, using monetary investment one entrepreneur poured in to everyone’s most benefit. I’m not aware of a license, a fortiori a decenly popular one, that would permit ubiquitous monetisation and forbid selling of a derivative work in any form.
