Totally free for commercial and non-commercial use.
It has nothing to do with free. It has everything to do with Apple pushing AAC and iTunes. They're pulling a Microsoft in that regard -- less so, as MP4 and AAC are more industry-defined -- but I'd have been happier to see them push Ogg. However, that alone wasn't enough for me to abandon the idea of having all my music.
