Hi Boris,

you *CAN* use open source software with closed source application. The exception is when you're changing the source of the open source application, which means you'll need to give back the modification. I think linking to a FOSS product (GPL'd) is a bit more problematic, but for this you can write some simple wrappers.
You are wrong. Every distribution triggers the GPL. Changed source code or not does not make any difference and linking to a GPLed library usually (some exceptions apply) triggers the GPL if you are actually distributing the library.
