I'd never bothered with these before and am thinking about downloading them, but can't find a thread anywhere about the question of whether Loopology Loops are royalty free or not, and whether they can be used in commercial projects without having to license their use.

from Adobe's web page:

AdobeŽ AuditionŽ software includes thousands of 32-bit, uncompressed, royalty-free audio loop files in over 20 different musical styles that range from rockabilly to cocktail jazz and classical to funk. You can download these files by clicking the links below. (Note: All of the loops are available for those who have purchased the online downloadable version of Adobe Audition.)

What I didn't expect to see was the notice in section 2.7 of the EUA stating that it was illegal to use the MP3 converter for broadcast or paid work. Yikes!

Yes, this makes absolutely no sense at all. What's the point in having an editing program you're not allowed to use for broadcasting or paid work ?? How could you enforce such a thing ??

It can't really be enforced, and I don't think that it's intended to be. It's a condition imposed as a part of the licence deal that you have to include that statement somewhere in the documentation, just so that if Fraunhofer chose to have a go at somebody, there wouldn't be a 'not stated' getout clause. Even if it was in really small print it wouldn't matter - ignorance is not a privilege in law, but there has to be something for you to be ignorant of, if you see what I mean.

As far as the loopology loops are concerned, they are entirely royalty-free to use, for anything you like at all. The only restriction on them is that you are not allowed to redistribute them as individual wav files. But as far as I can tell, there's nothing to stop you using a single example of one written to an audio CD! same argument as above, I presume...
