GnuPG and PGP are different tools. PGP is a commercial tool, although some versions of it are free for non-commercial use. GnuPG is a FOSS (Free, Open Source Software) tool released under the GNU General Public License (GPL), and it can therefore be used free-of-charge for both commercial and non-commercial use. GnuPG and PGP are generally compatible with each other (i.e. a file encrypted with PGP can be decrypted with GnuPG and vice-versa), as they both work to a publicly-defined standard.
