This is quite a broadening of the scope of the license. We added the derives a majority of income from actions... as a reasonable test here to represent the organisation's primary activity. "Commits" would make this much more binary and would make this license less attractive for widespread adoption. For example if an organisation "commits an action that discourages or frustrates a sustainable environment" that could on an extreme interpretation prevent a property developer using this software because they must level land and chop down trees for housing.
This is designed to catch say a power company who uses its might to lobby against curtailment of fossil fuels, or an oil company lobbying politicians for rebates to keep oil extraction alive.
I don't think we can accept this change.

How about replacing commits with systematically and regularly commits?
