I believe that the only restriction on the GPL is that if you develop a (presumably IDE) program by basing your source code on that of Code::Blocks, you would have to release the source code for your own IDE (keep in mind, this wouldn't prevent you from selling the binaries).
Other than that, it's an absolutely free tool, and you should be able to develop commercial, close-sourced software with it.

Thank you ;)

Certainly. However, if you are using parts of C::B that are under GPL in your own programs / commercial applications you are forced to release the source code of these components, too.

Maybe the answer to the following question is already here, but just to make sure:
If I am to use Code::Blocks binary release that is shipped along with MinGW, only as an IDE+build tool (using the Code::Blocks' enveloped GNU GCC compiler), without using any of the Code::Blocks source code, am I allowed to develop commercial programs ?
