The difference is that non-commercial is for use by individuals on small projects that will generate revenue below a certain level and commercial is for companies that generate revenue in excess of $250,000.

Quote: The following restrictions apply to the use of this Engine:

Companies that grow to greater than $250,000 annually must upgrade to the Torque Commercial Product License for each seat of the Torque.

You know, unless you are planning on suddenly making more than $250,000 a year from your games framework, or unless the framework is the collaborative effort of a company that makes $250,000 a year, you can still sell your framework with an indie license provided you actually bought it.
