You are asking, I think, whether usage counts as commercial, when commercial and non-commercial usage are inseparable. I think the clear answer is no. The license is ambiguous about what usage is prohibited. Under the rules of contract interpretation in just about any U.S. jurisdiction, any ambiguity is construed against the party drafting the contract. To prohibit you from using InControl just because it loads some commercial applications, GAOTD would have to be more precise in defining the prohibited usage. When the license refers to “strictly” prohibiting commercial usage, strictness goes to the prohibition, not to the usage.
Sorry I misunderstood you before, and I hope I got it right this time.
