    if i list a few organizations, can you tell me if they are commercial or
    not? 
    
    MITRE
    
    Bell Labs
    
    Lincoln Labs
    
    the pre PSI NYSERNET
    
    SRI
    
The point is not whether the institutions are commercial, but whether
the traffic they choose to put out is.

FTP Software, Inc. is a commercial company, but it abides by the
NSFnet AUP which restricts the content of its traffic on the backbone.
