The sentence flows fine without the dashes. I would add a 'both' between
'for' and 'commercial' though. If one wants to get really specific add an
'any' prior to 'licensing fees' in that clause. The 'any' might be overkill,
though.
Rewritten:
"PostgreSQL is distributed under a BSD license, which allows use and
distribution without any licensing fees for both commercial and
non-commercial applications."
Or:
"PostgreSQL is distributed under a BSD license, which allows use and
distribution without licensing fees of any kind for either commercial or
non-commercial applications."
I tend to like the either....or construct there.
