title: Can I use a software tool licensed with GPL in commercial software development?
body: <p>The question is specific to <strong>using these tools to develop</strong> commercial software.</p>
  
  <p>The source or the binaries of the GPL licensed tool <strong>does not</strong> become part of the commercial software in anyway.</p>
  
  <p>I do not want to modify the GPL licensed tool.</p>
  
  <p>For example, an C/C++ development IDE that is licensed under GPL. Can I use this IDE to develop commercial software?</p>
  
  <p>Other specific examples of tools I'd like to use are: Doxygen, Eclipse, etc.</p>
