Pete, Educause has been debating on and off about letting commercial entities on the list. Let's face it, having an edu email is not really hard to get, so the filtering could be a real hassle. Also, having vendors on the list is reciprocally beneficial. Some of our discussions can help vendors understand our "edu" challenges and adapt products accordingly. The list is a good statistical sampling. We have had vendors providing technology neutral answers to some questions, which helped us greatly.
If vendors are contacting you directly after you post, please let me know immediately.
