The OKF is a "not-for-profit" organization in the UK
(http://okfn.org/about/)  but it may and does indulge in commercial
activity - the exchange of
goods and services for money or other value. Defining "commercial"
precisely is almost impossible and one reason why many of us argue strongly
against its use.
