There is no explicit prohibition on commecial use of OpenNIC TLDs.
That said, many TLD charters, keeping in the spirit of an open
democratic alternative to the greed that is ICANN, prohibit commercial
entities. But that is solely up to the TLD holder (and the desires of
the OpenNIC members who vote on the charters).
