Don't listen to this guy, as far as I can tell the only purpose of wanting the share-alike clause gone (which doesn't prevent commercial usage; it literally says that on the page you linked above) is to take your images and sell them on something like shutterstock.

Thanks for this Lucb1e, I've changed it back to CC-BY-SA :)
This is wrong because many uses of the work, like adding it on the front page your your site with some caption, is a derivative work. Putting it on a page by itself or printing on a t-shirt would not be derivative but using it as a logo with text would.
But what is the problem with someone taking your modified (captioned) version and using or modifying it further? Why shouldn't they be free to do so?
