From the license:
In a production environment, such as a commercial company, it is highly recommended that users purchase a Commercial License Agreement which applies to all of the product components developed by MandrakeSoft.
This means that that license only applies to software developed by MadrakeSoft (this is also restated later in the FAQ).
It's the same SuSE does with yast and other tools. I don't see anything new or strange in here.

According to my source
http://www.heise.de/newsticker/data/anw-17.12.02-000/
they say that owners of the commercial license are not bound by the GNU/GPL anymore. They can change the sources and are not forced to make the sources available.
How is this possible with GNU/Linux?
