The FreeSurfer Software License Agreement does not contain any language
explicitly or implicitly preventing commercial usage, however I will
highlight the following text from the License Agreement:

  "Any commercialization of the Software is at the sole risk
   of the party or parties engaged in such commercialization”

In short, commercial entities seeking to make use of FreeSurfer should
seek their own legal council on the interpretation of the license for
their specific circumstance.
