It appears that Geocaching.com is just clarifying their long standing policy against commercialization of geocaches.
Keystone's comments seem consistent with that interpretation, and it may be a part of a general tightening up of the interpretation for the solicitation and commercial content rules (i.e. I assume the same rules apply for any geocaching related software).

| 4. Solicitation and Commercial Content Geocaches do not solicit for any purpose. Cache listings perceived to be posted for religious, political, charitable or social agendas are not permitted. Geocaching is intended to be an enjoyable, family-friendly hobby, not a platform for an agenda. Cache pages cannot require, and should not strongly encourage, the placement of new caches. This is considered an agenda and the listing will not be publishable. |
