But I'm not certain; anyone know if a university > library can maybe in fact use it for free? 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.
