Plugins and theme are separate from the overall wordpress core. Provided they don't touch Wordpress itself I see no reason why they shouldn't be covered by whatever license the developer chooses.

If someone wants to charge for the use of something then that's entirely up to them. People can cry and shout about it, but at the same time there's nothing saying that they have to pay for it. I have developed one theme and made nothing from it (apart from maybe some adsense), I am now some way to completing my second theme and thinking about ways to monetise it. I have some ideas that are similar too, but also different from, premium themes. It will be interesting to see if it takes off at all :) I think that there is no reason people shouldn’t be able to charge for themes or plugins.
