The GPL prohibits you from selling things derived directly from source using that license, it's no barrier to just using them. An important distinction that's occasionally forgotten.

Also, code using the LGPL may be used as a dynamically-linked library without license problems -- as long as people who purchase the product can freely see the code for the library, and update the library as they please, it's good. The LGPL for this reason used to be known as the "library GPL".
