Absolutely. I wrote my post after the OP's second post, and from that
short, derisive tome, I inferred that the OP's definition of
"commercial" was quite narrow, so I was trying to respond on the basis
of what he would consider "commercial," which BTW, probably wouldn't
include a lot of programs that, e.g. Google uses to make money.
