I've looked some more and here are some specifics.  The definition of
non-commercial use is complicated enough that MIT and Creative Commons
have put forward quite different interpretations of the same license -
is it about "the user" or "the use"?  See:

 Creative Commons vs MIT OCW: Interpreting the Noncommercial Clause

Note that Creative Commons is still in flux about this - see also the
other complexities at:

 http://wiki.creativecommons.org/DiscussionDraftNonCommercial_Guidelines

 In early 2008 we will be re-engaging that discussion and will be
 undertaking a serious study of the NonCommercial term which will
 result in changes to our licenses and/or explanations around them.

What particular commercial uses are the authors of the Training Manual
concerned about?  Is it licensed under other terms for some users?

And thanks again - it is very nicely done!
