Hoi, The NTG is a Dutch organisation that maintains a resource that is used by most Open/Free software application that are in need of such a resource. These applications are under any and all Open / Free licenses. The NTG has it nominally under the LGPL but they do not enforce it at all. The license is there to ensure that nobody can make it propietary.
Are NTG against commercial re-use?

You are using "open" and "free" very loosely here. If we want to be the resource of choice for all projects of any type whatsoever, we cannot make the content non-commercial-use-only. A non-commercial project cannot accept GFDL content; a GFDL project cannot accept non-comm content.
