A non-linear power supply draws power in pulses, like a switching supply.

That's certainly a novel view since most Linear supplies do that.

Check the standard.
In the standard it looks more the term is used with regard to the relationship between current and voltage following an ohmic relationship, i.e. an unregulated source which could be modelled as an ideal cell with a series resistance.

If we learn from our mistakes I'm getting a great education!

I'll never know because I'm not giving the thieves 2oo bucks for a standard.

ScottyUK is correct. EN60079-25 defines a linear supply to be a fixed voltage followed by a resistor so that dV/dI is always equal to R.
