Judge Morrow wrote in her final opinion that FreeRepublic was "minimally commercial" that it exhibits many non-profit-like qualities, but was none-the-less "minimally commercial." Couldn't tell you offhand why for sure and don't want to make unsure guesses on this thread.

One of LAT/WP's arguments was that Free Republic was a commercial site because it used the dot-com top level domain.

Perhaps FR should have used the dot-org domain intended for not-for-profit organizations - like www.washingtonpost.org

Anyhow, I'm glad this thing is honorably settled.
