gwt can be used for commerical purpose. The other ones are commical
products using gwt as their framework which build another framework on
top. They let you use it freely or buy licence to use it as commical
method.

Hello,
Are you sure you're not confusing ExtGWT (ex MyGWT and now distributed
throw a commercial License) and GWT-Ext which use (for that time and
its latest version) the same license than GWT (From Google Code about
GWT-Ext: "It uses GWT and Ext 2.0.2 LGPL") ?

It depends if you're talking about ExtGWT or Gwt-ext. Nevertheless, I
usually recommend to avoid both of them. You're better off in the long
run using your own widgets or ones in the incubator. Gwt-ext amounts
to a bunch of JSNI calls to the ExtJS library. Its performance is
atrocious and it has far too many quirks (event handling is way
different, hard to integrate with GWT widgets, etc). The widgets in
that library are nowhere near the level of quality that you get from
the regular GWT ones.

The ExtGWT library is licensed under GPL v3.0, so it can't be used in
commercial apps. I haven't tried it so I won't comment. However, from
what I've heard, you're better off using the standard GWT widgets and
maybe some stuff from the incubator (although some if it is really
quirky).

Regards,

This query has already been discussed many times.
Well, I had a fantastic experience with GWT-EXT, It reduced my development time about 40 percent.

You can also check out this sample application (www.sample.gwt4enterprise.com) which is implemented using GWT and GWT-EXT, It might help you a form a better opinion.
