Good grief, no. That is NOT why the open source movement
doesn't make a distinction between commercial and non-commercial.
The open source movement doesn't make such a distinction
because such a distinction isn't "Free as in Speech" (Libre).

A non-commercial license isn't about community freedom,
it's about the original author leveraging free samples
in exchange for free advertising.
