I certainly will.  The GPL doesn't kick in unless you are *distributing* 
the GPLed code, and using it to run a website doesn't count as 
distribution.  You can *use* GPL'd Products with Zope, Apache, or even 
totally closed binaries.

Of course, if you *are* planning on packaging up GPL'd code with Zope or 
other code and selling/giving the combination away, you do need to be 
sure all of the licences are compatible (Zope 2.5+'s ZPL 2.0 licence is 
officially GPL-compatible).
