it's not as simple as that, the whole stack is GPL, mainly due to Standford's usage of GPL for all of their NLP.

GPL is a killer for any project that's not a toy or for school.

It depends how the project ownership and copyright is structures. We have used GPL projects successfully when they are dual licensed. It never hurts to ask anyway.
