As far as I see it, things are as follows: Both GTK+ and gtkmm are released under LGPL. The license can be found at http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html, and a nice explanation at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Library_General_Public_License. It is written that the license does not place copyleft restrictions of software linked to the program but on the program itself only. This means that there's no problem linking/shipping your commercial product to GTK+ or gtkmm. There are some restrictions however: 1. You have to allow for "modification for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications". 2. "Essentially, it must be possible for the software to be linked with a newer version of the LGPL-covered program. The most commonly used method for doing so is to use "a suitable shared library mechanism for linking". Alternatively, a statically linked library is allowed if either source code or linkable object files are provided."
