You can use C++, GTK, Hildon, Qt etc without paying any
licence. Most of components are LGPL that mean that you
can link them to closed source applications.

Just reminder, commercial and closed source are different
things. It is possible to make closed but free of charge
applications or it is possible to make commercial open source
applications.

GPL and LGPL does not say that you cant make commercial
applications.
