NO .org was not just for nonprofits it was every thing else that didn't fit the other TLD's

Some in the US non profit industry wanted to make it so retroactively when .org came up for renewal - but they got shot down in flames ( the red cross and Oxfam did not fit their narrow definition of a non profit for example)

BTW I used to work for a registrar and this is direct from the guy who lead our bid to run .org
