Actually one of the main ideas of many (most?) Creative Commons variants is that 
while allowing various uses of the material copyright is claimed, and credit and 
acknowledgement is required.

Creative Commons is usually very different from public domain.

This especially applies if the reason behind releasing something for 
non-commercial use under a CC license is to promote yourself, and your work ... 
hoping to get some paid work as a result, or hoping someone may wish to pay to 
use the work released as non-commercial in a commercial context.

So a means of helping ensure that the work remains identified as yours may be 
quite sensible.
