You still have to watch out for which libraries you link with (LGPL is compatible with proprietary, GPL isn't: for example, libc is LGPL, but libreadline is GPL) and which code you might use in your own code base. Read the licenses. When push comes to shove, ask a lawyer. The GNU pages [2] on licenses is pretty good. It is written from GNU's point of view, but it's well done over all.
