Regarding CC-BY-NC and RUP's assertion that "it still achieves the funding agencies’ goal of reuse of content for text and data mining." I wonder wether it is true for, say, Google (Scholar)?  If I put an *explicit* NC clause in any license on a web resource: may Google index and list it? Only on pages *not* enhancing their revenue, i.e. without advertising? Or not on any of their pages, since money loosing services may still enhance the brand …

Try a Google search - for any terms. The results will not be limited to CC-BY licensed works. Google does not require blanket commercial rights to index and link. Google indexes a wide variety of works, in many countries, with many different terms and conditions - even All Rights Reserved. 

My CC-BY-NC-SA licensed blog is hosted and indexed by Google. Ads do not appear on my blog, but this is because Google offers me the option of turning on or leaving off Adsense.
