It continuously refers to not being suitable for commercial use, but in reality I see no prohibition against commercial use. What strikes me as non-free is that it prohibits or restricts benchmarking. Freedom 0 requires that you must be able to use the software for any purpose and in any manner, and the restriction on benchmarking clearly runs afoul of that tenet.
