[osflash] Commercial use of OSFlash projects?

[Alias™]

Hi all,

I was wondering - say, for example, I wanted to use part of an OS project in
a commercial project (say, DENG, for example), what exactly would the legal
ramifications of this be? Just for the sake of the argument, let's pretend
it's for some hugely evil corporation, e.g. Microsoft, Phillip Morris, etc.

I know that with stuff released under the Apache licence there is no issue
with this, but what about the GPL/BSD/other?

Would there be any way around these issues, if any? Say, obtaining
permission from the author/paying a commercial use fee? If the source is not
modified, does the GPL in fact have any effect in this case?

Just wondering,
Alias
