What can I actually do with what I generate, including commercial use?
You own the outputs you generate, to the extent they can be owned, and you may use them commercially. We claim no licence over them beyond what is needed to store them in your library and deliver them to you. Note that the legal status of machine-generated output is unsettled in some jurisdictions — we can grant everything we hold, but not rights that nobody holds.
