GTK+ is released under the LGPL, which means that you are permitted
to dynamically link a proprietary application to it and use it. Take
a look at VMware, for example, which uses it as the primary GUI toolkit.
Theoretically, you could also write a bare toolkit above the Xlib layer,
which you could make entirely proprietary. (This is due to its very
unrestrictive X11/MIT license which basically says "Do whatever you want
with this code, so long as all copyright notices are left intact.")
