are they any commercial ecommerce and CMS type packages for RoR?
A:
As far as CMS go : see here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%5Fof%5Fcontent%5Fmanagement%5Fsystems#Ruby%5Fon%5FRails
but if you also meant 'commercial cms', the quoted ones are MIT licensed

There are some pre-built things that cost a little bit of money at RailsKits.
However, most of the good stuff is open sources, perhaps simply because it is a challenge to obfuscate Rails code. For example, ActiveMerchant was extracted from the Shopify service, which was built in Rails.

I dont' get it, how did activemerchant get shopify's code?

Shopify chose to extract ActiveMerchant themselves - it wasn't the case that a 3rd party extracted it.
