I could be wrong, but the original question said nothing about
"non-profit" the way i read the first question as simply as, why cant
OpenBSD(a for-profit entity) do advertising, via a search page for
google(a for-profit entity, as far as i know), and get paid for it.
Nothing non-profit required, simply an advertising deal between 2
for-profit companies.

This would not require any "inconsistencies" either, as both companies
are for-profit. So in much the same way that we pay OpenBSD for CD
sets, Google would be paying OpenBSD for searches. Am I wrong
somewhere in that?
