Hello,
I think Kiam is right. Here's an example of a REALBasic application
that uses this interpretation of the GPL license:

I don't agree on that. You could use a GPL application in your
commercial application, and not pay anything to anybody (and be
compliant with GPL too). Like they stated, it's possible to use a
GPL program in an application you sell as commercial (without to
give away its source code) if you don't make your users think it's
something you created, and if you put a note on your "about box".
That is because the link they talk of is a compiling link, not link
at execution time. That includes any dynamic libraries (.dll on
Windows, .so on Linux, .dynlib on Mac OS X), because when you use
one of them you still have code glued to the executable at compiler
time (.lib file).
