She supports fanfiction but it has to be non-commercial. See eg http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/3753001.stm

Sure. My point is, this is all based on her whims, not on any legal definitions. So "non-commercial" in this context just means whatever JK Rowling wants it to mean in this context.
Given that it's raising money for a charities, and that the donations only accelerate the publication rate, I would be surprised to see Rowling object when she hasn't objected to previous chapters.
