A MATLAB license for an individual researcher

Hi,
Since I faced some non-consistent answers in relevant MathWorks forums [1-3] I would like to clarify a few doubts I have regarding MATLAB licensing. I defended my PhD two years ago. As of now, I am no longer associated with any university or company using MATLAB. As a hobbyist, in my spare time I work individually on some non-commercial computer science research projects. I plan to publish the obtained simulation results and parts of MATLAB code in two research papers and a book (containing my PhD thesis with minor improvements).
- Is the MATLAB Home license sufficient for my needs? The commercial license seems way too expensive and irrelevant in this case (not earning money), and for the academic license, I guess I would need to be an "degree-granting institute" which I am not. I would also like to avoid rewriting all scripts I wrote during my PhD research to Python or Octave.
- What is the actual MATLAB usage covered in licenses? Some time ago on the MATLAB website https://www.mathworks.com/pricing-licensing.html?prodcode=ML&intendeduse=home it was mentioned that one was not able to do research and publish results using MATLAB Home. I can't see this note anymore. Now there is only "For personal use only. This license option is not for government, academic, commercial, or other organizational use". So, can I publish results (e.g. using the MATLAB plots)? Or can I publish MATLAB code only? Or can I only run such code? I can find plenty of blogs with hobbysts' projects in the Internet using MATLAB, fully documented, so the "hobbyist" term remains not clear to me. For instance, if I write a C++ library under the Apache/MIT license which do some FFT computations under the hood, will I be able to use MATLAB Home just to verify solutions numerically?
Sincerely,
Mariusz M.

A community forum can certainly offer some observations, but I would suggest contacting sales to get accurate answers.
