Other examples: Is the BBC commerical? It's technically a public service broadcaster, owned and "controlled" (ish) by a government. But it has managers and offices and directors (and sorta) CEO, and HR departments and employees and will sell products, and it buys many things, and competes in the same space as many commerical TV stations and producers. Is the US Department of Defence commerical? No. The US Army? No. What about Deutsche Bahn, the German train company? Imagine a tiny worker owned co-operative, it's 10 local indiginous farmers who are barely self suffecient, but they made a co-op selling their products. It's a democratic organisation, controlled by it's members. That is definitly commerical. Doe "Non-commerical" exclude who you want?
