Jane Park at Creative Commons has posted an interview with Karien Bezuidenhout, Chief Operating Officer at the Shuttleworth Foundation. From the post:

Well, I think, to begin with, we were open to the commercial angle because in the greater Shuttleworth group we’re the only nonprofit entity. We’ve got venture capitalists that’s part of the group, so commercial pursuit was normal to us, I think that kind of predisposed us to be open to that. I just don’t think that you can separate out education and commercial use so easily.
