Again, this is a policy discussion better suited to another list.
Let's keep this one technical.

Well, under the GNU FDL and the principles of freedom espoused by GNU,
they can use the edits you have made. As for me, I *want* for-profit
entities to use our encyclopedia -- one fond hope is that after we get
to a 1.0 release (which will be prepped by us specifically for ease of
use by publishers) the market will be flooded by for-profit printers
all over the world.
The key concept here is not 'profit' versus 'non-profit', but rather
'proprietary' versus '(GNU) free'.
