It seems quite correct to me. Not-for-profit is not the same as non-commercial, as you rightly state. However, the poster is commenting on commerciality not not-for-profit status. I can quite understand that some people would not want to donate time towards a commercial enterprise.
. Several developers agreed to work on Debian and within the Debianproject because it produces Free Software, adheres to a very strictfreedom policy and the social contract and has no commercialinterests. If I would want to work for commercial bodies, I couldgo to Red Hat, SuSE or Ubuntu.Again, not-for-profit isn't the same as no-income. I imagine certain (German) universities accept money from their students, does that make them commercial?
Why are you mentioning universities in connection with this point? Universities are fairly clearly commercial, but some of them do not donate to commercial enterprises, which is the problem about hosting a few points earlier.
