Use *for* commercial work, i.e. as a tool (e.g. compiler) - definitely so.

Use *in* commercial work, i.e. as part of it (e.g. a library) - depends 
on your business model: If you can GPL your work and still make money 
with it, then yes. Otherwise - definitely no.

Then again, in case of the "Lesser GPL" (LGPL) - definitely yes.
