The license says:

Permission to use, copy, modify, and distribute this software and its
documentation for any purpose, without fee, and without a written agreement
is hereby granted, provided that the above copyright notice and this
paragraph and the following two paragraphs appear in all copies.

That means what it says:

- "without fee" = no costs

- "for any purpose" = also for commercial applications, for any database size
