Here are the pertinent paragraphs:

The purpose of this Learning License Agreement (“Agreement”) is to make 
available certain software, 
resources, and/or cloud services for educational and non-commercial research to 
any Individual wanting 
to engage in educational activities solely related to learning z/OS.  As an 
eligible individual, you accept 
the terms of this Agreement by completing the registration process and 
accessing the Eligible Resources.


2. License 
IBM grants you a nonexclusive, nontransferable license to use Eligible 
Resources solely for instruction 
and learning. Eligible Resources shall not be used in development, test, or 
production environments. 
Eligible Resources shall not be 1) used, copied, modified, or distributed 
except as provided in this 
Agreement; 2) reverse assembled, reverse compiled, or otherwise translated, 
except as specifically 
permitted by law without the possibility of contractual waiver; or 3) 
sublicensed, rented, or leased.

I specifically asked my IBM contact about working on open-source projects and 
was told NO.

So a hobby license this is not.

I'm still waiting to hear back from IBM Sales on getting the product. I 
submitted my request to them almost 2-weeks ago, and all I've gotten back (the 
same day) is an automated response email that says we will get back to you.
Regards,
