Dear Fae,
If I am a student and write wikipedia articles about commercial software my university uses in my free time, I satisfy this definition. However, I would have no conflict of interest here, as neither I nor my university gets paid for the new information I would write.
I think that in such situation, I can silently do my things within interest of satisfying Wikimedia mission of free knowledge. You should not require anything of me. I would like you to re-think your definitions here.
