I have made the subject line more appropriate.

The Joomla developers are very clear on possible licenses of plugins.

see http://opensourcematters.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=articl...

Extensions, Templates need to be under GNU-GPL2+, though it is
possible to encrypt them /sell the the former.  Releasing extensions
under a different license can be problematic.
