I think there's a difference between software developed commercially and commercial software - just because people are paid to write it isn't the crucial difference for me. Indeed, even if people got compensation of some sort, I wouldn't necessarily call it commercial: soliciting donations, for example, doesn't make software commercial for me, even if it pulls in a considerate amount each month.
I would struggle to label most free software as commercial on that basis. RHEL would be an example I suppose, but I wouldn't call Ubuntu commercial.
So much for examples of things you exclude from “commercial software”. (Many of which I disagree with.)
What, then, is your definition of that term so we know what you *would* apply it to?
