I wholly disagree. Open-source does not imply not-for-profit at all. Look at Red Hat. They sell open source software, by way of selling support, and access to stable repositories for updates. So this line does not need to exist. If the line does exist, then I agree it should be well defined.

Just my two cents - but I prefer that organisations keep a clear line between open-source/not-for-profit and commercial operations or intentions. You get a not-very-pleasant smell about it when the two start to intermingle to the point where you can't tell where one ends and the other begins.
