As for Ghostscript (I don't know the details for ghostview), you have
to negotiate a license with Artifex Software Inc., at <info@arsoft.com>.
The royalties for incorporating Ghostscript into a commercial 
product depend mainly on
- the percentage of Ghopstscript in the whole product
- the estimated number of saled copies.
