I was reading the licenses for clips and sounds and was having trouble with the not-for-profit area. I would love to use clips from here, as the quality and availability is absolutely incredible, but I don't want to infringe anything. I would be using most of these sounds in web-based flash games.

The problem is that the games themselves are absolutely free, and the users do not have to pay anything for content. But the hitch is that we do receive monetary gain from external sources, in the form of ads on our site (unique visits to my page is linked with payments from the advertisers).

So, to sum it up:

1. The trouble is that the game(s) does not generate income by themselves, but the site is a web-based flash game site.
2. Users in no way pay for content, in any web domain (only one other site)
3. The website is receiving income from an external source, things that most websites would have anyways.

So is just hosting/distributing(only on one other site) games with clips itself infringement? The ambiguity of non-profit is troubling me, as I don't want to get lawyer'd.

thanks for the help, it would be excellent to clear this up.

cheers.
