This thread seems odd to me, but I'm willing to be educated.
The GNU Source License <http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html> places no
restriction on how software can be _used_. It only deals with distribution.
Since server software can be used without redistributing it, the license has
little practical effect.
Therefore, I'd conclude that GNUJSP <http://www.xs4all.nl/~vincentp/gnujsp/> or
GSP <http://www.bitmechanic.com/projects/gsp/> are free for commercial or any
other use.
Of course, one would prefer the reduced-pain-in-the-ass Apache model license but
what is the practical issue?

It _IS_ free for non comercial purposes.
Try imagine someone making money on products based on yours
which you have developed many many hours.
