I am preparing a small wiki based tutorial website.I will have to be grabbing lots of contents under the Creative Commons (CCL), and I'm planning to place some ads on the website, to cover the costs of the server, but I am concerned if these ads will make my website a commercial website and thus violate the non-commercial use license.
Question(s):
Does placing ads on a website make it commercial?
Does ads break the terms of the Creative Commons license?

Many organisations that provide creative commons content make distinctions between commercial websites which are built specifically to make a profit and sites which simply have a few ads on the pages to offset hosting costs. Best bet is to ask but you will find that many won't have an issue with your site having ads on it, the issue would arise if you started to sell content on your site.
