The GPL's requirement to release source code impacts any product you integrate GPL code with, which then forces you to release the source code for the rest of your product. As a result, you can't use any GPL code in a commercial product that you want to keep closed source, which tends to mean that GPL code is not used in commercial products. You need to use LGPL instead to avoid that problem, assuming the LGPL code can be contained within a separate library.
