Eh? Sorry to drag out the thread, but this surely needs radical
re-phrasing (that's to say, "commercial use" is pretty wooly): half of
the US film industry seems to use Gimp (the other half uses Photoshop
;-) and Little Igloo FTP is a commercial product (that is, it's for
sale) which uses a fair bit of LGLP (at least) code: it's pretty
obviously built on top of gtk. (It's actually damn good, too, but beware
of stoopid servers that don't understand its "auto" switch.)
