My guess is that we'd see the most action on the iPhone side of
things, due to LGPL code being just about unusable for a commercial
app. For a Windows/Mac OS X/Linux game, a commercial game could always
use SDL without any special license, just by providing a binary that
dynamically links again SDL...

Also, there's some pretty impressive open source games out there
(*not* mine, hehe!) that I'd say are very close to "commercial
quality", or even better. I'm often amazed at the screenshots I see on
Free Gamer (http://freegamer.blogspot.com/)

But we'll see... :-)
