Software under the GPL may be run for all purposes, including commercial purposes and even as a tool for creating proprietary software, such as when using GPL-licensed compilers.
@eMAD parts of it can, yes. For example if it has GPLed JavaScript, then the source code for that must be available.
You can distribute your application using a GPL library commercially, but you must also provide the source code. GPL v3 tries to close some loopholes in GPL v2.
Yes a company can use it internally. The GPL just says a person with the binary can request source. So if only the people with the binary are in the company then only they can request source.
I am developing a CRM system for small/medium companies, and i want to integrate a GPL software as a module to my system(with some modification on my demand). Will it be legal to license it as a commercial product ?
Thanks.
