1) Can works protected under 'Creative Commons: Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike (CC BY-NC-SA)' be published on a site at no cost to users that is supported by ads and/or sponsors? The "non-commercial" term is throwing me, since the content would be provided for free, but I would be making money from advertisers or receiving money from sponsors to keep the site going.
2) Can I provide hyperlinks on a commercial site to works protected under 'Creative Commons: Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike (CC BY-NC-SA)' since I am not actually distributing the content? For example I have developed a programming course, and I provide a link to a lecture video from an MIT professor that published his video to the web with the CC BY-NC-SA. The video is hosted on ocw.mit.edu, so I am not distributing the works with my commercial course.
