Hi Charlie et al,
I don't have an answer, but I find your question very interesting. I
have had the feeling the definition 'commercial' is just too hard to
define. Is somebody using Google Ads being commerical? Is a
not-for-profit per se non-commerical? Is Greenpeace not commercial? I
think a good definition of commercial is lacking. Until this question.
Is this idea about the amount of profit a better way of defining
commercial?
grtz,
BjornW
