Please please read your comments again.
I'm very sad to hear such harsh comments when somebody proposes a tool 
for propagating knowledge about Free Software.

@Charles: Thanks for the info about your project!
I think it's better to not create false dichotomies in people's mind:
- Free Software (aka open source) is always commercially useable, that's 
freedom 0
- FSFE absolutely encourages building business models on creating, 
spreading, studying, using or improving Free Software!
- As there's no free lunch, you've got to have some way to accept money 
if you want to build a sustaining infrastructure

So, I'd cut out the "non-commercial" attribute and would paraphrase it 
differently, better explaining what you mean.

Best wishes
Michael
