Clear boundaries and real-world examples distinguishing personal projects from revenue-generating commercial use.
What Qualifies as Personal Use?
Personal use includes greeting cards for family, private school assignments, personal portfolio experiments not used to acquire clients, and hobby mockups that generate zero direct or indirect income.
What Constitutes Commercial Use?
Any project intended to promote a business, sell products, monetize YouTube channels, run sponsored ads, or print merchandise constitutes commercial use requiring an author license.
