Best change that in:
ConTeXt, developed by the Dutch company Pragma Advanced Document
Engineering, is open source software and avaliable as stand alone
distribution (www.contextgarden.net) and is also part of regular tex
distributions (like texlive).
It can be used commercially (within the rules of gpl etc etc) which I'm
sure of some folks do. Of course you could joke that 'commercial usage
is permitted given that a donation is made to the context group so that
those involved can meet every now and then to discuss its usage and
present recent work like yours).
(btw, I always wonder if the gpl restrictions also apply to the makers
too ... i.e. if I extend context for a project should I then also make
those extensions public ... quite a hassle if that would be true.)
