Technically, if it has a non-commercial restriction then it can't
be open source.

(you may put it to non-commercial use, but an open source license
says "anyone can take this and use/modify/sell it", so you wouldn't
be able to stop someone else doing a commercial site, which would
be against Jon's wishes).

You'd have to use something like an CC-NC license, which isn't
considered truly open source, or make sure the code (open source)
and content (non-commercial) is kept distinct and separate.
