http://openacs.org/about/licensing/open-source-licensing provides a
layman's summary of the GPL. The part about derived works says:
"anyone can create a derivative work of the code and redistribute it, as
long as the resulting source code is also made available at
redistribution time, and as long as the resulting source code is
licensed under the terms of the GPL."
There's a bunch of other pages that try to summarize the terms of the
GPL, e.g.:
http://drupal.org/licensing/faq
Of course, your best bet is to consult with a copyright attorney.

Hi All,
I would like to ask if we can use RHQ framework as base for
commercial project. I would like to design management software for our
enterprise software using RHQ as a base. I know RHQ is licensed as GPL
and so its difficult to sell closed source product. Can you please
provide me some guidelines?
Thanks,
Prashant
