Moreover, even if you specify it as day-job, can you consider in-house stuff
commercial? It is not sold.
But very often the software facilitates services which are sold. We send
out hourly reports to customers 365x24 for which we are paid, the code
started off as a proof-of-concept for a customer but it turned out to be
better business to run everything on a bureau basis (if something goes
wrong we can do something about it, rather than having to wait for the
customer's contract maintainer who's based in a different timezone).
