I suggest you read up an the GPL; turning an GPL program into an commercial program is not easy/legal/possible by anyone but the copyright owner.
And, with the copyright being owned by multiple people is likely impossible.

And, since it is an open source license; there would be a fork by any developer/user who wanted to fork it.

I think the license for the SDK is GPL 3, so if you distribute the plugin you should provide
the source to the person your are distributing the plugin (he/she can pay you for plugin, it is not forbidden by the license).
Probably this could shed some light: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html

The license on the CB SDK is not GPL 3. Its LGPL 3, which allows commercial ownership and distribution.
