Again, have a look at JChemPaint... the GUI is licensed GPL, but all the 
functionality, including the actual rendering engine is license as LGPL and 
can be found in the CDK, cdk.sf.net...

The latter project, on which Jmol is based too, is a very interesting library 
of chemoinformatics algorithms, *and* is positive to usage in commercial 
projects too, though they highly appreciate code contributions... there are a 
few commercial packages based on it...

The JChemPaint applet (from the 1.9.x series) was a quick hack, but JChemPaint 
is actively being developed at two sites... If you have further concerns 
about the license, I would propose to contact on the cdk-devel and cdk-users 
lists and ask for comments there... I think there still are a few people 
subscribed from companies using CDK/JChemPaint in there proprietary 
software...

See above,
