Can I use Atlas as a basis for commercial services?

I see no reason why not.  As long as the use patterns on my probes do not change, I lose nothing, and you are welcome to make money.
 
Today, most Atlas uses seem to be for public research, or for
"selfish" measurements (checking my network). But I see nothing
forbidding people to sell services (monitoring, quality assessment) to
other people, based on Atlas. Is it on purpose?

I plan to use Atlas for my MSc thesis.  I think this is a selfish as you selling measurements to people who want to know when their hosts are down.

In any case, you will need credits to run measurements, so you must host probes, which we non-commercial guys can use <evil laugh>
