I'm still sure that this is not true. You are bound only by the licensing of the individual components that you distribute with your executable. Your code is not tied to the IDE in any way, and remains your intellectual property. If somebody else compiles your code for you, and gives you all rights to the compiled program, you own it -- period. Think of it this way. If you wrote all of your code in Notepad you would own your code. Importing that code into another piece of software can't waive your rights to it. That would be like Microsoft putting language in their license agreements to the effect that musicians would lose rights to their royalties if it was opened in Media Player. It would also mean that 3rd parties could not legally write commercial software. Consider the situation where a company contracts for a piece of software, and then sells the program that they are delivered. Perfectly legal. If I compile your program for you and sell it to you for $0, you can turn around and sell the program that you are delivered. Perfectly legal.

BTW, editions are described at the link below. Sounds like you have some kind of student license.
