Hi Boris, you *CAN* use open source software with closed source application. The exception is when you're changing the source of the open source application, which means you'll need to give back the modification. I think linking to a FOSS product (GPL'd) is a bit more problematic, but for this you can write some simple wrappers.
Thats my understanding anyway...
