Yes, but this thread is still about a language.

Of course. And the main concern with npm, Inc is whether making money will at some point conflict with wanting to make npm better, no-strings-attached.
If "make money" ever appears to be in conflict with the thing that puts us in a position to make money, then we're thinking about it wrong.
For example, imagine if Twitter were not from the get-go a for-profit company. If they got really popular, and then said, "Hey, guys, we can't keep the lights on without figuring how a monetization strategy, so we're gonna take some VC and do that." It wouldn't be wise to assume that "make money" was going to mean "charge to read or post tweets". Forget love or greed or good and evil, that wouldn't be a smart way to make money.
What is currently free will remain free, precisely because the free-ness of it is what makes npm interesting.
