Sometimes people say things that amount to "heh heh, this is great, we can use the images, but some commercial outfits can't, and so if they want to make money off of our hard work, they'll have to spend a lot of money going through the image data figuring out what it is, which will tend to prevent them from doing it."
Whatever happens here does not exempt the commercial user from exercising due dilligence in deciding what he uses.
