GlassFish Server Open Source Edition is dual-licensed under the GPLv2 with ClassPath Exception and the CDDL. This means that you can use the open source binaries in production. You can download this from glassfish.org

Here is a link to the licenses: http://glassfish.java.net/public/CDDL+GPL_1_1.html

On the other hand, Oracle GlassFish Server is available under a commercial license and includes support, patches, and some additional features. You can download this from oracle.com/goto/glassfish.
