non-commercial use
Not for profit
Non-commercial use is use of something—software, images, creative works—without intent to make money from it.
A license permitting non-commercial use allows personal, educational, or charitable purposes but prohibits selling, advertising, or business applications: The photos are free for non-commercial use only.
The line between commercial and non-commercial sometimes blurs, as when a nonprofit sells merchandise or a blogger earns ad revenue.
