Really? According to Wikipedia it’s a commercial company.

The footer on the w3schools site states “Copyright 1999-2013 by Refsnes Data.”

- moocowduckquack 13y agoWhy would you reference a wikipedia article to support your position without reading it through? from the article - "W3Schools is not for profit, while maintaining normal W3Schools operation is very expensive." The holding company may be for-profit in some things, but it would seem that w3schools itself is not a for-profit concern. As far as the fact that they copyright things, that doesn't tell us whether they make profit from it or not.
- Samuel_Michon 13y agoAs far as I can tell, W3Schools is not a company, it is a project by a commercial company. That means they’re not tax exempt and any donations made to them can’t be written off. The company may not make any profit from the project now, but it’s unclear whether that’s by choice. Blackberry doesn’t make any profit, but that doesn’t make them a non-profit.
