SILK SDK license

[babz]

Do I need a separate commercial license to use the SILK SDK for commercial purposes, or is executing the SILK patent license sufficient to obtain a commercial license to the SILK SDK? 

The SILK developer homepage contains the following language regarding a license to the SILK SDK:

Skype Limited hereby separately grants to you a license under its patents to use the SILK software made available as a download below for internal evaluation and testing purposes only. This license expressly excludes the use of the SILK software for distribution or use in any commercial product or service.

Then, it states that to use the SILK software for any purpose other than internal evaluation and testing, you are required to accept the SILK Patent License. 

The language used does not explicitly grant me a license to the SILK software for commercial purposes - it just states that it is necessary to accept the patent license, but does not state that accepting the patent license is sufficient to be granted a license.  So I am confused - do I need a separate commercial license to the SILK SDK or not if I accept the patent license?
