The remaining mention of non-commercial looks like a residue from a
less enlightened version of their FAQ, to me.

Is attribution considered nonfree? I've increasingly been considering
it so, but it depends on the "depth" of attribution called for by
Creative Commons; to what degree must one attribute versions preceding
the one immediately modified, redistributed or referenced?

Share-alike isn't nonfree at all though, far from it. Share-alike
defines the boundary between "Free" and "NonFree" in the open-source
software sector, so same principal applies here, I think.
