Yes.

No. This qualified by permission to use the material within a commercial
environment, but not to be charged for that share of the programme.
i.e., a charge may be applied for the facilitation of the programme in
association with commercial material, but not for the material itself.
e.g., a minimal charge may be applied to recover the cost of an
instructional video/CD/DVD but not for the material it conveys.
