At any rate, R-help has always allowed R-related course announcements, commercial or not. The position has been that as long as it is of interest for R users and not overly intrusive, it is accepted. (Posters need to beware the potential negative publicity from perceived spamming, though.) R developers have been enrolled as teachers for commercial courses (as well as non-commercial or semi-commercial ones) and of course been paid for their work. I don't see a particular problem with someone cutting out the middle man.
