Consulting is specially called out in the actual license as a no-no: "including without limitation fees for hosting or consulting/ support services related to the Software"

Consulting is explicitly called out as prohibited in their "Commons Clause":

> For purposes of the foregoing, “Sell” means practicing any or all of the rights granted to you under the License to provide to third parties, for a fee or other consideration (including without limitation fees for hosting or consulting/ support services related to the Software), a product or service whose value derives, entirely or substantially, from the functionality of the Software.

(Emphasis mine)

But the blog post is just a blog post.

Legal people are going to go by what the actual license says - and that is vague.

The second paragraph of the article specifically includes consulting and support.
