Everyone can use GPLv2 software "free as in speech" provided it follows
the rules of the GPLv2.
The rights and duties defined by the GPLv2 have absolutely nothing to do
with commercial or non-commercial.
And the opposite of "free software" is "proprietary software". 

BTW are they any non-commercial companies?
