Yes, you can use for commercial use as long as you respect the CeCILL
license. I answered about this question a few days ago. Please see:

No worries. 
For your information, there is a MySQL connector existing:
http://forge.scilab.org/index.php/p/scimysql/
and an Excel add-in:
http://forge.scilab.org/index.php/p/scilab-xll/

An other DBMS module is going to be developed into the Google Summer of
Code context probably on Qt SQL to be able to use other DBMS
(Postgresql, SQL server, etc).
