It might also be a good idea to change the wording to non-free or
proprietary instead of commercial.

Please don't use ``commercial'' as a synonym for ``non-free''. That
confuses two entirely different issues.
A program is commercial if it is developed as a business activity. A
commercial program can be free or non-free, depending on its
license. Likewise, a program developed by a school or an individual can
be free or non-free, depending on its license. The two questions, what
sort of entity developed the program and what freedom its users have,
are independent.
