I don't know if this is relevant, but
please see "Argumentum ad lazarum"

Money is not inherently evil, so prohibiting it
doesn't actually solve any problem. And by prohibiting
commercial use of a Free work, you prohibit companies
such as Red Hat from using money as a way to expand
distribution, advertising, and awareness.
