Yes.

Should?  Can. Yes, config is similar.

We originally meant "non-commercial" to mean "not for resale." Many people 
used and use parts of the FWTK for commercial gateways. Some even secretly 
created competing commercial products. Some even claimed to have invented 
the firewalls they based on the FWTK. But I digress...

Our intention was always to allow people to use it on their gateways, to 
encourage them to buy our commercial product for a supported solution, and 
to stop people to compete against us with our own code.

FYI, TISLABS is actually NAI Labs and did not get sold to SCC. I don't work 
there, but have friends who do.
