Launchpad itself

Is it ok to use Lanchpad as a platform to sell access to private repos?

Asked by Ubu Foo on 2019-12-14

Public access to this repository was shut down:

https://launchpad.net/~jonathonf/+archive/ubuntu/ffmpeg-4

I am not 100% clear (and not interested) about the details of this case, but it looks like the maintainer of that account now offers access to private ppas only to people / companies / organizations that will pay him some $CURRENCY.

I do not want to discuss the moral implications here - greed of the big fishes forces small fishes to be greedy, too - I am just curious if it is a legitimate use case of Launchpad to sell access to private repos with open source software?

Is it ok / allowed / legal to use this platform for this kind of commercial activity?

I would like to read some official statement about this question, I could not find too much regarding commercial use in

Thanks for your attention!
