Gotta love lawyers, right?

You ask them to put together a "simple" licensing agreement, and that's what I got. However, at least there is the simplified language at top that basically explains in relatively plain English what you can and can not do. The legal part is just complicated by the fact that I also sell production music from various composers on the site, in addition to the loops and samples, and my lawyer is doing his job of making sure my butt is covered.

But, yes, you can use the loops in commercially released music, and you will never owe any money, no matter how popular the song gets.
