What do you mean by "commercial usage"? If you intend to disallow
anyone from using the software in a "commercial" environment (e.g. using
it to make money somehow), that's certainly non-free by Debian's
standards. On the other hand, if you only intend to prevent the code
from being incorporated into a closed-source product, that would be OK
by Debian's standards, but you'd have to make that intention far more
clear in the license.
