I want to use FSM part of cookiecutter, in my commercial addon. It this allowed?

Yes, see the project's license: you can sell your work, but as with every blender add-on, you must also distribute the source code and allow users to freely modify and redistribute your work if they so desire.

That's the license Blender itself uses by the way, so the reason you must use the GNU/GPL-v3.0 license is that you use the Blender Python API. Here's a guide to get started with GNU/GPL: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/quick-guide-gplv3.html

Yep, my code is also open source, if users want they will be able to modify it. I know I have to use GPL to do addons for blender. I just wanted to make sure it is ok with developer of CookieCutter.

You can see the license at the top of most github repositories:

This is GPL-3, the same as most blender add-ons. So yes, you can use parts of this in a commercial add-on.
