Please don't be insulting to other answers, just because you have your 
own (which dismisses the question in the process).

The short answer to the original question is that you can have a license 
that restricts commercial use _or_ one that's open source -- the two 
concepts are mutually exclusive.

The so-called "tangents" attempt to explain the differences between the 
two possible paths.
