Yes, sorry.....see I need that clever license chooser thingy we invented
earlier ;)

Sheesh, (pass the dunce hat would ya Jenny?) and the number of times I HAVE
read "if Your public digital performance is primarily intended for or
directed toward commercial advantage or private monetary compensation."
....it would be a "no" so my private stream is in the clear, with only the
streaming bills to pay.   AND this is probably how/why ccMixter doesn't need
to fuss over (p) fees because there's no ads or revenue streams....at least
not obvious ones.
