KaVir:
I would contend that "profit" is much more clearly defined in law than something like "login sequence" or the helpfile provisions.

Yes, except that you've provided no legal basis for your statements. It does a disservice to the community when people are given the impression by your claims that the license means something that it really doesn't.

Tyche:
I wouldn't say that unconditionally- what if a company ran one for educational purposes and charged schools which used the service at or below the cost of providing it?

That would depend on to what extent a commercial entity (company) can be said to engage in non-commercial activities. IANAL, and here I'd have to do a little research. As an example, can a corporation buy non-commercial software licenses to give to a school or do they need some more complicated way (ie, donate money to the school, which then buys the software) to keep their hands clean?
