Um, LPI is a non-profit attempting to build non-distribution specific Linux certification, to help promote Linux. They themselves neither do the testing or the training. This is a call for community help.
Sure, some businesses later on will probably make money on testing and training. Same way Progeny, VA Linux, and Stormix make money by selling distributions/hardware with Debian. Does that make Debian a commercial entity?
