Well they aren't actually limiting the GPL version to Non-commercial use. (their wording does seem like that though, but the GPL supersedes that). What they are doing is offering a commercial version of the code that is not licensed under the GPL, meaning that it would be "appropriate for commercial use" whereas businesses may not want to risk using GPL content within their code. His wording is certainly not trying to educate people about the GPL, nor is it trying to dispel the myth that you can use it commercially. What it does do, is highlights a real world case of this exact debate about businesses being unable to, or too scared to use GPL content.
