You can release commercial software under the GNU GPL license, in fact the FSF encourage it to promote the creation of more free software. Wordpress and it's enormous amount of plugins is probably the most successful example of commercial free software.I didn't see this mentioned in the community edition license agreement. - https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/Also, you have to buy a Visual Studio license on Windows to be able to release commercial plugins on Windows.
Where did you get this info?
Obviously, it doesn't concern plugin developers (well, at least, most of them).
