This dichotomy betweek open source and commerce isn't real.  The
difference is between proprietary software, which you don't have the
right to change, study, and redistribute, and free (as in freeedom)
software, which you do.  Open Source software isn't all commercial,
but a lot of it is.  Open Source is big business.
