I'd be interested. I visited USC/ISI in 1993 and remarked that commercial traffic seemed to have begun and was told emphatically that it was because enforcement was lax.

Folks,

The NSF Web site says "In March 1991, the NSFNET acceptable use policy was altered to allow commercial traffic:"

https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.nsf.gov%2fod%2flpa%2fnsf50%2fnsfoutreach%2fhtm%2fn50_z2%2fpages_z3%2f28_pg.htm&data=01%7c01%7cjgrudin%40microsoft.com%7c28f5ff46cb1b481bc91408d2fcc96217%7c72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7c1&sdata=1va67ARO1KIWIbKFw7d6YhBbRmMYEQQGHh9YdgtbooY%3d

But this statement of the AUP, dated June 1992, contradicts that:

When was the AUP changed to allow commercial traffic?
