Per the linked licensing doc:

When you need permission

If you’re intending to use it for any other purpose, for example....

• substantially to do your job – as an employee, contractor or consultant

• for commercial purposes – to make a profit

• for non-profit and government organisations

...you’ll need to get our permission first, and you might have to pay a fee.

Like all copyrights, you can add relevant local laws to that list, such a the US 1st amendment -> FAIR USE. That can be commercial use too. And limited educational uses. Even the mighty BBC cannot demand total monopoly on use.
