Non-commercial only licenses discriminate against fields of endeavor and are
definitely not open. See 6 of http://opensource.org/docs/osd or 8 of
http://opendefinition.org/okd/. No derivative licenses are also not open -
you can't modify the data.

 

Another explanation is
http://freedomdefined.org/Permissible_restrictions#Restrictions_which_are_no
t_permissible. CC doesn't claim that any NC or ND license is open either.

Forgive my incompetence, but what about other open licenses? Say,
CC-non-commercial, Cc-no-derivatives, and a whole bunch of combinations of
by, sa, nc, nd? Em you consider them not-open? 
I'm sure there are more examples, I only know about cc ones.

I realized a diagram including all the most important opendata
licenses that are now available, and classifying them according to
their legal effects (attribution and share-alike, attribution only,
public domain). I hope this work can be useful to better understand
the actual situation of geodata (open)licensing:
