i don't think you're wrong, but that's where the Creative Commons comes
in - it's not "free" like the GPL is free, but it's about as close as a

you like, thereby making it truly "free").
i'm in no way advocating that people license their music under the GPL !!!

what question? i don't understand what you
mean by "free jingle" ... i'm
pretty sure it would be against a non-commercial CC license for a song
to be used in advertising. in any case, i can't really envision a piece
of advertising or product endorsement that wouldn't be considered
commercial. Free/open advertising?! That's like a contradiction of terms!
Sorry, a non-commercial license is by definition non-free. If a piece of music
is licensed using one of the _free_ licenses it can be used for advertising.
There is nothing you can do to prevent that. I'd love to hear that I'm wrong,
but I doubt it.
