So I was thinking about placing the Authors Against DRM logo in a future ebook, which will probably be my NaNo project for this coming year. The only trouble is that the logo, which is available here, is CC BY-SA. While the website explaining the license claims that I can use it in commercial products, it says further down that I have to distribute that product under the same license as the original work.

Thus I can use it for commercial work, as long as I don't charge money for it? Wouldn't that make it a non-commercial work?

Anyone got any experience with this?

Edit: I emailed the website that hosted it, so maybe they can also shed some light on the subject.
