Hi. Why not?
GPL 2.0 perfectly allows for commercial use. Also Linux foundation software uses GPL 2.0 as well. Also if you are developing with GCC (which I did at the time) I had to license my software as GPL .
I like the license because it encourages others people to contribute back if they choose to use it in their projects.
If not, I do not mind they can still do private changes and state the changed only when they distribute binaries made with Equilibrium Engine,
I found this article helpful
Do you or your team has a need to have more permissive license?
Regarding GCC https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gcc-exception-3.1.en.html code compiled with it doesn't need to inherit the license.
