OpenBazaar itself is not a for-profit project, and it predates the formation of the OB1 company by a year. OB1 has a plan for monetization (I'm a co-founder!) but OpenBazaar itself is designed as a neutral trade protocol and network that doesn't rely on OB1 at all, other than the majority of developer power is provided by the company at the moment.
