Do you mean distributed proprietary products?  If it is just a
question of making money off a model, neither the GPL or LGPL prevents
you from doing that.  The Swarm source code itself is under the LGPL,
which means you are only obligated to distribute the source code of
Swarm, not the model itself.  However, models that run, say, under the
Cygwin environment use a GPLed DLL, and thus also fall under the GPL .
