They use the phrase "consistent with this purpose", and purpose can be
implied to mean "a not-for-profit association of industry members
dedicated to promoting enterprise and systems management and
interoperability."

More than likely, it is simply that the DTMF is non-profit, not that the
schema is restricted to non-profit intentions, but since they don't
really specify any terms or rights for the schema files, it would be
best to be clear.

That would be sufficient, just toss it in the package as a txt file.
