I have seen comments on X that they will consider a revenue cap for the non-commercial restriction. A researcher commented among the lines that they have no interest in restricting creators from using it for monetized YT content. The way he put it, it suggested they are at this time looking to understand use cases rather than necessarily limit or charge for commercial use, and he recommended reaching out to the commercial team. So it sounds like one could likely receive a free commercial license if needed.
