Making money off of it is NOT a criteria—at ALL. There's even a minimum amount of a fine if one wanted to enforce.
The idea behind a trademark is to prevent confusion between brands.
There was a day care center that had some Disney characters painted on the windows for the kids and Disney made them take it down. So Hanna-Barbera sent over their cartoonists to paint their own characters on the windows. That's a voluntary move that Disney decided they did not want to do but to enforce their rights.
Quit talking out of your arse-hole or back up your urban legend.

A daycare center is a place of business, and they can't use Disney's trademark to help sell their business. If the daycare was not a business, that never would have happened.
