Nope, nothing against that. The only thing you arent allowed to do
is cause OTHER fido sysops to pay for your commercial operations
say by commercial traffic being carted around at their cost.

No problem with say collecting enough in user charges to make a profit
after your costs have been paid if you can offer the users a good enough
service to convince them to pay that with the other free systems around.
