That's strange, is it ever relevant what the license of the language is? It hasn't stopped Linux.

It is not about the language - it is about the interpreter (implementation).

There are many aspects here:

* You simply use it (in interactive mode)

* You integrate it into your application as static lib

* You integrate it into your application as a dynamically linked lib

* You use it via some kind of (remote) API

* Do you integrate via source code, static lib, dynamic lib, API
