CC licenses that are not NC absolutely allow third parties to sell the content. They just don't allow them to hinder others from sharing it for free.
As for CC licenses with NC, those do not comply with the Open Source definition either.

"Commons Clause" is not a Creative Commons license. The two are unrelated.
Don't buy them, don't eat them.
>"Hey, you can use this for free if you don't make any money, but we want 10% if you're using this in a paid product" -> See? Done, easy, nobody upset. Don't pretend "Hey, this is open source, except it isn't, and please give me your money."
None of that makes any sense. Creative Commons simply restricts selling the software itself. The software is still distributed free, and you can still sell a derivative.
