Let's read the fine print:
>Your organization must not seek to make a profit through services or by charging for higher tiers. [italics mine]
Certainly we can wag our fingers at the Chromiums and Darwins of the world, but making a profit through services (paid support) is the original open-source funding model as supported by the FSF et al and practiced by Red Hat and the others. A great deal of the software widely celebrated as Free, including support for a lot of Linux kernel development, has come through the Free-software/paid-support model.
It's dubious to claim you support "open-source" projects with a clause like that in your terms.
