How to address commercial/ enterprise usage of R/Shiny applications which use GNU-GPL license based libraries

How to address commercial/ enterprise usage of R/Shiny applications (with different license/branding) which use GNU-GPL license based libraries

Most of the R libraries are licensed as General Public License (GPL-2, GPL-3).
GPL libraries put distribution restrictions (copyleft) to brand any R-based applications.
In short, R applications developed using GPL libraries, can't be commercially branded, unless licensed under the same GPL only (i.e., open-source)

I need some guidelines/ industry standards for such scenarios.

Do you know if packages like shiny, shinymanager, shiny.fluent has any commercial/ non-GPL versions ?
