I also sort of assumed that .org meant a real nonprofit. Otherwise, various
unscrupulous outfits and organizations might simply pose as being
non-profits. Could have the equivalent of, say, Microsoft.org

maybe some of the others?
There used to be a lot of difference but they have relaxed the rules ALOT!
.com was commercial
.net was network
.org was a non profit.
However you no longer need to show proof of this to get that extension.
Plus with all the added extensions out there you can get a lot of bang for
your buck.
(I have heard of folks registering all extensions to keep someone else
from getting it.)
Still I would expect a .org would be a non profit group.
