Not really. You can use it to license commercial software, but
since the demand is that it is "to be licensed as a whole at no
charge", while you can charge for a copy of the _software_, the
license itself is not a commercial item.
Sure it is, you can charge several millions for a copy of the license.
All that is required is that you do not modify it.
Anyway, in contrast to most available licenses, the GPL has a
section explaining how to apply it to software of your own. That
makes it considerably _easier_ to license stuff under the GPL than
under most other licenses. You just need to read the respective
section.
Well, to license anything you need to read the license, if you don't,
then you are quite stupid, kinda like giving out signed checks without
a sum or something...
