Licenses are legal documents and you can't expect to get a definitive answer on what they allow you to do or not do from people who are not lawyers. However, Microsoft's intentions in this respect do seem clear and, it it were me, I'd read the licence to make sure there are no obvious problems and, if there aren't any, I'd get on with my freelance development using their free tools. If you do this, the chances they'll ever successfully sue you for breaching the licence terms are negligible in my opinion.
