If you make more than $250,000 per year, you must buy the commercial engine for $749. The commercial license also has less restrictions.
Here is the licensing information.

The Torque engine costs $150 and comes with everything, including the source code. You can sell the games made with this without paying any extra, but you must do a few things, such as putting Garage Games in the credits and showing the Garage Games logo.If you make more than $250,000 per year, you must buy the commercial engine for $749.

Hm? I don't think they're the same.. the demo won't let me execute my own scripts... it says I can't play on that server. It says it had trouble with Player_debris.dts.

Your best bet would be to try the demo out, start making your game. If you get to the point you believe you'll finish it, then buy the license and keep going.
Scripts not running would be because you're trying to run them as a client. When you start a game, even a singleplayer game, the program treats it as 2 separate processes, the client and server, though it has shortcuts to make things more effecient. This makes the dedicated server mode a lot simpler, and helps make sure you get a consistent view of what network connected players would experience.

The demo is a full version of the game, but you have NO redistribution rights to go with it. You can mod the script files to make a game with it, but you can't release said game, even free.Your best bet would be to try the demo out, start making your game.
