And that implies that you were not aware that neither the GPL nor any
other Open Source License does not prohibit selling the product.

Define "non commercial organization".

Define "commercial organization".

I doubt I'm the only person to see how a firm with 500 employees, all of
which use the software, can be in full compliance with the license,
without paying the specified license fee.

Also wondering why you prohibit organizations that are neither
non-commercial ventures, nor commercial ventures from using your product.
