I'm not sure.  I couldn't use it for free on my commercial sites.
This is part of the reason why I'm glad antispam.typepad.com launched,
which is free for commercial use.  It claims to be 100% API compatible
with Akismet, so just switch the URL in the new() call and it should
start working.

Hope that helps,
