Since we have deprecated use of the Creative Commons non-commercial license derivatives, are we able to upload typesets of otherwise public domain works (?) where the author wishes the content to only be available for non-commercial purposes?
More context: The Erkki Melartin Society has produced beautiful typesets of some of Melartin's works including all six of his symphonies. They state these scores are only for non-commercial use. Are we able to host them here and honor their wishes?

I am not an administrator so I cannot give you a definitive answer as to what IMSLP's policy is in this case. However, IMSLP:Licensing Policy and Guidelines states that:

No the only NC licenses we can offer is if the contributor is part of a PRO group and use the PRO licensing for upload. Otherwise they must be OK changing the licensing to a free license (CC-BY-SA or free-er).
