Abstract
This paper presents a sufficient condition for two vector fields $X$ and $Y$ to have the squares noncommutative, i.e. $[X^2, Y^2] \not= 0$. We prove that if the vector fields $X$, $Y$ span a nilpotent distribution with nilpotence class 2, then the squares of the vector fields do not commute.
