Consulting is specially called out in the actual license as a no-no: "including without limitation fees for hosting or consulting/ support services related to the Software"
Consulting is explicitly called out as prohibited in their "Commons Clause":
> For purposes of the foregoing, “Sell” means practicing any or all of the rights granted to you under the License to provide to third parties, for a fee or other consideration (including without limitation fees for hosting or consulting/ support services related to the Software), a product or service whose value derives, entirely or substantially, from the functionality of the Software.

But the blog post is just a blog post.
Legal people are going to go by what the actual license says - and that is vague.
"...if your product is an application that uses such a module to perform select functions, you can use it freely and there are no restrictions on selling your product. However, if what you sell is basically the functionality of the module packaged as a cloud service or on-prem software, Commons Clause does not allow it."
