However, others may use Fedora in commercial offerings.  We don't restrict
that use case at all, as it would be non-free of us to do so.  Which means
that we cannot have software in the repositories that has commercial entity
restrictions.

Also, Fedora is not a 'not-profit organization'.  There are very specific
legalities that need to be completed before you can declare yourself as that.
