Can an unmodified GPL utility be used in a commercial project?

There is a commercial project with closed source codes. Is it possible to ship with it unaltered *.exe utilities distributed under the GPL license?

In general, I learned how to use the search and found the answer: A commercial closed-source interface to the console utility under the LGPL license
In short: you can, provided that the final product is not a more or less explicit extension of this utility itself, as well as users with sufficient degree explained that this utility is free. Judging by everything, judicial practice is such that if you adhere to moderation and clearly do not violate the license, then there will be no claims.
