It's actually broader than making a profit -- it refers to "monetary gain":
"When other people use or trade or copy your work, they cannot do so
for "monetary compensation or financial gain," unless they get your
permission."

That seems like it would eliminate anyone making money off of it, even
if they don't make a real profit.
