Could you explain a little better why releasing it as commercial software
would solve your license compatibility issues? Also, I'd be interested in
knowing a little more about how you are integrating and distributing these
different pieces of your system, because I am writing the chapter of my
master's dissertation about license compatibility and I'm focusing on these
issues when talking about GPL.
