Starfinder Character Folio Terms of use

I am looking at the character folio PDF and wondering what the terms of use are for it. I do not see it explicitly giving permission to print the sheet.

So can I do either of the following with it?

1) Print the sheet for personal use?
2) Print sheets for everyone at my table to use?

I was thinking the sheet would be nice because everyone is new to Starfinder and the rules snippets on it could be useful.

The bottom of the character sheets literally say permission granted to photocopy for personal use

Not the character sheet, the Folio, the one that cost $$.

There's an old Vic Wertz post that I can't find at the moment that gave blanket permission for people to print any PDF they purchased, which should have a watermark indicating their licensed ownership of the property (because all PDFs from Paizo.com include the watermark). Doing some searching, I did find a few posts where he reached out to Fedex Kinkos in the past to provide confirmation of that fact.

Can I print my PDF, or have it professionally printed?

You may print one copy of any Paizo PDF for personal use. Note that this only applies to products that list Paizo Publishing or Paizo Inc as the copyright holder—other publishers may have different policies; you'll need to contact them directly.

The first is definitely fine.

I don't know for sure, but I doubt the second would fall within the bounds of "personal use" (so I think it would be not fine).

A non-form-fillable PDF character sheet would be pretty useless if you weren't allowed to print it, wouldn't it?
