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.

I think you mean a system to create an e-commerce using RoR ? if that is, check out http://spreecommerce.com/

I never tried it myself, but it's the top app on http://www.opensourcerails.com
