KaVir:
Exactly. The license says what it says, and what it says is "profit."

I assume from your lack of response that you agree with me now that some of the expenses a server operator might incur can be properly construed as being deducted from income to get gross profit, and certainly to get final profit?

Tyche:
Yes. Someone would be hard-pressed to argue that a commercial enterprise was not attempting to earn a profit.

At the same time, I can't see a court ordering damages against a hobbyist for recouping $200 in money from players against $500 in hosting costs that he has receipts for.
