Hi James, I hope (and am quite prepared to believe) you're right. Just that it doesn't specifically say that - it just says "commercial use [...] is not allowed", which is a little vague. That's why I'm suggesting a clarification for those unwilling to make assumptions might be a good idea :-) Cheers, - Pete.
