GPL isn't anti-commercial, it just places limits on what you can  
charge for GPL licensed code, and you must supply your source code.  
(Probably impractical, but not anti-commercial.)

Maybe, but you can just rip out the regex code, and for example,  
replace it with oniguruma and be happier than a pig in shit. To my  
knowledge, that's the only GPL'd code in the VM.
