—: In the topic you specify, Ashley just tells that the user asking is allowed to monetize the videos he's making since he has a license.
Nowhere he clearly specifies "you can make money out of the free version as long as it is money you'll be saving for the license".
On the opposite, when that specific question ("Can I monetize in order to buy a license ?") already had been asked, Scirra brothers have always been clear about it, the free version is not meant to make money out of it.
At all.
