This appears to void the GPL, as it appears to be an additional 
restriction.  There appear to be no licences other than the commercial ones.

It is possible they didn't mean commercial, but something more limited, 
corresponding to things not permitted by the GPL.

However, it is likely that they failed to understand the GPL.
