on GAOTD web they say Strictly personal usage
in readme they say Strictly non-commercial usage

it’s highly controversial, since some software titles they featured, I can’t even imagine to be used non-commercially given the nature of the software

I’m not a lawyer so can’t comment much about legal validity and consequences of such kind of terms/appendix from a Ukrainian company registered on British Virgin Islands offering third party software for download.

However as a user, my opinion is that their main intention is to rule out possible legal problems from commercial sector (eg. if some company will download and deploy software from GAOTD to hundreds of their computers, and then demand compensation if some problems occur, cases like that), not to rule out people to “store their five invoices in the Evernote database” (for the lack of better example).
