I was wondering since I didn't agree to this and it was given to me for free, I could use it anyway I see fit, i.e. commercial use?

no

You have the right to listen to it via a license. Not distribute it or use it in any other way.

It's the same as if someone makes and hands out a free album to promote something. It's their intellectual property. You don't 'own' it. You purchase or are given the right to use it in a specific manner.
