The FreeSurfer Software License Agreement does not contain any language explicitly or implicitly preventing commercial usage, however I will highlight the following text from the License Agreement:
"Any commercialization of the Software is at the sole risk of the party or parties engaged in such commercialization
In short, commercial entities seeking to make use of FreeSurfer should seek their own legal council on the interpretation of the license for their specific circumstance.

Dear FS experts
I have one concern regarding the license and the Freesurfer usage on industry.
We are setting up a start-up specialized with the analysis of brain MRI and we are interested on using FreeSurfer package as our main neuroimaging tool, due to the large amount of utilities it provides.
After reading carefully the Software License provided here ( https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/FreeSurferSoftwareLicense) it is not clear for me if we could use yours software to provide a service to an external organisation/customer for which payment will be received.
Could someone provide some insight on this issue?
Bests, Joss.
