We had a debate about this a few years ago. When does hobbyist activity 
become "commercial"? IIRC someone brought up the example of selling 
their daughter's knitting patterns from a VMS hosted web server. 

Church/scouts/kids' school etc projects - commercial or not?

And last year I wanted to convert some tax tables to another format. The 
file layouts screamed COBOL at me, so that is what I used, but if it had 
been for commercial gain I would have had to use some  other language on 
my Mac.
