As far as I understand; the license allows redistribution and copying as long as attribution is given, the it isn’t monetized (non-commercial) and isn’t remixed, adapted, or altered.
So you can use it in a YouTube video, as long as it’s not monetized, you didn’t change the music, and you give credit to me.

Just because a video is not directly monetized on YouTube does not mean that it's a non-commercial work. Any work that promotes any commercial enterprise is a commercial work according to most copyright law. This doesn't just apply to the video creator themselves, but also the YouTube platform itself, which offers 'free' content to promote its money-making content, as well as selling premium subscriptions. Any 'CC-NC' license is incompatible with YouTube unless YouTube itself has a license agreement with the copyright holder (as with most commercial, mainstream music). I realize I'm nitpicking here, and I admit that my intention is to be able to see your fantastic music used by KSP YouTubers (monetized or otherwise), but of course this is your creation and I respect your right to choose whatever license you wish to. As I'm sure you're aware you can also dual-license a work to allow for uses that you explicitly grant. Alternatively you can join YouTube's licensing regime.
Thanks for bringing it to my attention, I'll read up on it and consider opening the license a bit. I'm glad you like the music!
