TYPO3 4.x and 6.x have the same license. Since July 2008 it mentions GPL 
v2 or later.

As said earlier, you can do a lot without license issues. Unless you 
want to take TYPO3, completely rebrand it as "ToniCMS" and sell it as 
your own product (maybe with some modifications). But that wouldn't be 
nice anyway IMO.

There are plenty of options to modify and extend the behaviour of TYPO3 
without modifying the sources. You can simply require a version of TYPO3 
for your extended features and you don't have to distribute the TYPO3 
code yourself.
The extra bonus is that you get bugfixes and security fixes without 
having to backport everything to your own codebase.
