Akismet is free for personal use. If your site is used to generate income,
then you are supposed to buy a commercial API key. If you have 1000
non-commercial blogs, then you can use Akismet 1000 times with the same API
key. You aren't cheating anyone by doing this, rather you are helping to
improve Akismet and that makes it more attractive for commercial purposes
and as a result, selling more commercial API keys.
