Forgive my legal ignorance, but why does it imply that?

Fedora is already shipping an older version of these files, and a
number of other companies (IBM included) ship these files with
commercial closed-source products.

They state that the files "may be reproduced for uses consistent with
this purpose", with the purpose being "promoting enterprise and
systems management and interoperability".  Doesn't that imply
commercial use?

The DTMF is made up of industry members, but I'll try to get a more
official read on this.  If I get an email saying "yes, it's fine",
what else do I need to do to record that for Fedora?

Thanks!
