Yes, Sachin is correct. Visual Studio is just a tool to write code and build software. If you write your own code from scratch, you own your code including a full Website. However, if you copy code from third party open source projects, you need to look at each of those projects' licenses if you are allowed ot use them in commercial applications or not.

yes, VS community can be used with a group of 4 people with the same license key. This means when you download the community you are assigned a license key if 3 more people download VS community with the same information as yours then they will all get the same key.

You and 3 more teammates can use this for commercial use.
