Product, Offer, and other elements from GoodRelations currently use labels and descriptions that are sometimes too tightly bound to traditional commercial transactions, while the underlying GoodRelations makes no such assumptions (e.g. that the compensation has to be a monetary amount).

By updating the description for those elements, we can mitigate many of the potential inconsistencies in schema.org, e.g. that some user communities do not feel that the objects or services they are offering are "products".

This is related to the task of supporting barter trade and non-monetary compensations in schema.org/GoodRelations.
