which raises another question from me. If you release the source,
doesn't it have to be free of any commercial dependencies?  eg.
Commercial plugins ala Monkeybread, einhugur etc.  I seem to recall
from some deep. dark place in my memory that *any* reliance on a
commercial component meant it couldn't be released under the GPL.

Yes. In fact, under some interpretations GPL would preclude you from releasing a RB application under GPL because to compile the application requires a commercial compiler with a commercial framework. You therefore cannot provide all the means to install and use the source (compiler), and the source links against a commercial, closed framework (RB classes).
