Umbrel is the operating software. Using the operating software commercially (creating your own competing market app for instance) is what they mean here. Btcpay is its own software with its own terms of use. When you use btcpay you abide by theirs.
I agree that their intent seems to be to say that you can't commercialise the Umbrel OS software, but it is also confusing and they should clarify that is the intent. Sure hope the intent is not to say you can't use it for commercial purposes to run BTCPay Server for a business. That's the whole purpose of BTCPay Server.
