Old café, old men in a village

A long take (16’) of an old café ambience in a village where elders are meeting. A table plays cards with 4 players and 6 observers. Nice crescendo around 2’30. Another table is more quiet, playing dominos very slowly, a man kneading his komboloï. A third group is outside on the terrace : near 6’, a car honk, stop with engine on and restart. Voices are like waves; calm and then grow old and fall again. Also sounds of chairs, glasses, knocks on table, etc.

I'm reading picture books to little kids doing distance learning for school because of COVID, may I use this as background noise for a book reading online? Not making money off it. Just making it fun for them and doing a public service.
