Address use by small companies on behalf of big ones #11

I've had second thoughts on this. I don't think we want to exclude small companies selling to big companies until they grow big enough to need paid licenses of their own. The edge case is a small company that exists almost entirely to serve a big one, without crossing the line into big company status. The existing language around use "for the benefit of your company" raises the right question there.
