Essentially, without paying a lawyer to figure it out, from what I
understand they have two licences, a GPL one (not LGPL -- which
would negate the other licence) which is fine if your developing stuff
that will be GPL, but if your doing commercial projects, then they
have a commercial licence, and it's not cheap.
