Hi mthoms. The question you asked is:
"how can The Foundation grant wordpress.org a license if the licence granted to Automattic is exclusive? Wordpress.org as you know, is not a non-profit."
One need not be a non-profit corporation to engage in non-commercial use.
Distributing open source software at no charge is not a commercial activity.
An analogy might be you or I volunteering at a community event. We are individuals, not non-profit corporations, however we would be engaged in non-commmercial activity.
