If the commercial part involves duplicating and selling copies
that changes things. You can provide a commerical service with
the custom-built instance, though. I don't think building
a unique custom software product as a 'work done for hire'
that ends up owned by the end user would trip copyright laws
either if you don't duplicate it for another customer.
