Metallica would not get away with using the non-commercial license.

According to the creators of the JW FLV Media Player (LongTail Video) --

"All LongTail Video products require licenses when used commercially.

Examples of commercial use include:

(i) websites with any advertisements;
(ii) websites owned or operated by corporations;
(iii) websites designed to promote other products, such as a band or artist;
(iv) products (e.g. a CMS) that bundle LongTail products into its offering."

At the very least, Metallica.com matches the 3rd example so they would have to purchase a commercial license.

Furthermore, being that Metallica is very popular/visible and generates significant revenue, it's quite unlikely that they (or the company they use to manage their website) would ignore the need for a license.
