To answer your follow up question, he cannot pay you to fly it for him
nor can you fly it for free if he pays you to lease it. Further based
upon an FAA decision (involving flying a mechanic for an ambulance
service) you cannot lease it for free and fly it for free if he needs
it for his business.

Correct, any time you have the same entity arranging for both the aircraft
and the pilot, it is most likely a commercial operation.
