Commie is not commercial... The license hunt would not concern us: 

"However, no license is needed for private, non-commercial activities (e.g.,
home-entertainment, receiving broadcasts and creating a personal music
library), not generating revenue or other consideration of any kind or for
entities with an annual gross revenue less than US$ 100 000.00. "
