Per Pecan, Since Code::Blocks uses the LGPL 3 making an close source plugin for Code::Blocks allowed.
Note: The close source plugin (Binary) for Code::Blocks must NOT contain static linked code compiled from GPL or LGPL source code(Without permission from Copyright Owner); it can link to the Code::Blocks SDK (Since it is Licensed under LGPL).
I am not a lawyer; and I am not an expert on Code::Blocks or the GPL/LGPL. But, I have read discussions on both.
etg:
Who is aware of any commercial derivatite of C::B or plugin for C::B ?
I think would be better not to allow fully closed source but everybody should provide some useful part not whole (depends) from code for future integration in C::B in case commercial onwership of such release.

There was about two years back an Site that was using Code::Blocks as the IDE for their embedded hardware; not sure if it counts as an commercial product. Edit: I think they are selling it; do not really read the website enough to confirm it.
I think they was including Code::Blocks for free. They might have had some custom plugins for C::B.
I can not remember their name right now.

Does code::blocks use the GDB mi interface in the debugger branch? This would probably be better than the current stdin/stdout redirection method since it let's you interact with GDB while the debugee is running and you can stop individual threads.
Also, I think it is better to use a separate GDB rather than a custom library. This way you can build/get GDB for whatever target you are using rather than trying to adapt and recompile a custom library.

I do NOT use debugger; but, I believe Code::Blocks has always used a separate GDB.
Edit: @pfong, you do realize this this thread is about an outside developer creating a project using parts of Code::Blocks.
