AFAIK lccwin can be used commercially.

 "/Can/ be used commercially" does not imply "/is/ used professionally". I'm sure there are some people who use it in their work, but I would expect that in any statistics about compiler usage, it would be in the "Others < 0.1%" category.
 

lccwin is used to compile C functions with an interface which maes them callable from Matlab. Whilst I haven't written Matalb code commercially and it would be rare to do so, I have written Matlab ocdoe professionally, and that is quite common. I probably also made rather heavier use of the C interfaces than was really justified.
My Matlab File Exchange submissions are still going strong. But the gem, the faded bar chart, hasn't been valued, and hasn't attracted any stars. Matlab users, download and give some love.
