Felicitations ! You've just been granted the "Troll-of-the-Year" award !

in short:

	1 - You can develop proprietary software with Zope.
	2 - You must include a link to Zope's web site on your 
	    website's homepage.
	3 - 2 is optional depending on certain conditions (read the license)

hoping this answers your question.

Remember: No license is viral, only some special malicious software is.
