Many questions on this list originate from businesses using Debian internally. Are you suggesting this shouldn't be allowed and/or that support should only be provided for businesses below a certain size? (ignoring for a moment that this would be impossible to implement with open posting / subscribing / list archives) Free(dom) Software was never meant to exclude comercial use or developers earning a living (or a fortune) from it. In fact a non-commercial clause in the license would make a software non-free according to Debian's DFSG and other similar Free Software definitions. As far as I can tell the Debian Project is actually quite proud of Pixar having used Debian internally, so much so that all the code names are still inspired by Toy Story characters.
