A story from msn.com.com on how OSRM got started: "Egger got the idea from considering a hedge fund that would invest on the assumption that SCO would fail in its suits. Once he decided that such a fund wasn't a financially viable route, he changed course toward a risk-hedging service.

To help in the effort, Egger said, he hired legal researcher Pamela Jones, who also operates the Groklaw Web site that is popular with Linux fans for its coverage of SCO's machinations. Through the partnership, Open Source Risk Management will be able to tap into a Unix timeline that Jones will produce with the help of 400 volunteers, including some original Unix authors, Egger said. The timeline will trace Unix's source code and licensing history, Egger said. "
IANAL, but that doesn't sound non-commercial to me.
