I have updated the commercial use page to clarify an issue.  Here is the new paragraph added:

  • [*CLARIFICATION 5/4/09] If you are simply an individual using the program at work, it doesn't matter if you are a member of a large business -- you do not need a formal commercial license (unless the program specifically says a commercial license is required for all profit making use).  Commercial Licenses are normally intended for the situation where many people at your business all use the program.

I added the clarification because it sounded like you might have thought you needed a commercial license just because you happened to be part of a larger business entity, and i realized people could get the wrong impression about this.

Lot's of people have a business life that allows them to put programs they like on their computer, and it would seem wrong to designate such use as "Commercial Use".
