Case in point: you're kovasb@wolfram.com, I'm not an academic.
Wolfram has used his business to unduly promote his research. There is a huge difference between him and a professor making the rounds.
What exactly is 'unduly' about it? Going on a book tour? Putting up a website?
That his research was funded through success in the market rather than government subsidies doesn't imply any 'unduliness' to me, but attitudes may vary.
