Relicensing under the Creative Commons Attributed Noncommercial Share Alike license is not possible. You may, of course, choose the Open Game License v1.0a, Creative Commons Attributed Noncommercial Share Alike, and others at a pages creation. MMCs were only eligible for relicensing if (1) had no cover texts or invariant sections, and (2) were thus incorporated prior to November 1, 2008. If this was true then the operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the site under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1, 2009.
