"I think the whole mistake CopperheadOS did was switching to a Creative Commons license that prevented commercial use by third parties." Maybe. It depends on what commercial use means in that license. Quite a few products are given away for free supported by other products that are commercial. The Open Core model usually does that with layering but the paid product can be entirely different. Maybe something running on CopperheadOS like backup or messaging software. Something individuals and enterprises might buy.
