Why just non-commercial?

Jabber.com shouldn't be the only corporation able to
benefit from the word Jabber!  This totally goes
against the goal of becoming a standard IM protocol.

Let the Jabber Foundation control the name "Jabber"
for both commercial and non-commercial projects and
companies.  This is only fair.

Allowing non-commercial projects to use the name
"Jabber" while allowing only one corporation to use
it, and excluding all other corporations, is
completely absurd.  That's not a Community - it's a
Corporate Strategy.
