In any case, what makes it a bit confusing to me is that "Commercial" sounds like it should only be sold. A free "commercial" album is odd to me (for example
http://vgmdb.net/album/9343 ). Also would say, my soundtrack for Kaleidoscope (theoretically professional as I got paid) be considered Doujin/fanmade even though I'm not part of a doujin group nor acted as a "fan". I'm actually the official rights holder too but OCR is acting publisher AND it's for free. It's a bit tricky.
Similar issue with this:
http://vgmdb.net/album/11721 , what would the publisher be? It's just me but I'm the official rights holder and a professional composer in theory and practice even though ties to OCR are clear. Once again, it's free. As a publisher I'm not at all professional nor am I getting paid but it IS the official source for the official soundtrack by the rights holder.

Additionally, why's this doujin/fanmade:
http://vgmdb.net/album/4635 and this isn't:
http://vgmdb.net/album/2658 ? Is it just an error or am I missing something? Would it make a difference if these were free releases?
Also, if it isn't set in stone yet, Doujin/Fanmade should be Doujin/Indie to work better imo.
