I'm not sure I understand that distinction. I live in a college town and all of the professors I know get their software at the academic price. Many of them then write books with Microsoft Word and get paid for doing so. I'm sure Microsoft knows about this. That certainly seems to be commercial use.
I know the profs are entitled to buy the academic version, but I don't know if there are actual usage restrictions (there probably are, but I doubt MS is stupid enough to start pulling RIAA tactics).
BTW I hope those profs keep good backups! - Dave
