I can understand that you would want recognition if it was used 
commercially, it just seems that the acknowledgement you get from such a 
clause could be pretty inconsequential.

I suppose you would have similar issue with a copyleft licence like the 
GPL, in that the code could still be used to provide a commercial 
service and you would get no credit (even if improvements and changes to 
the code would be guaranteed to flow back into the project).
