You can use this license to develop any open-source application (including commercial ones) as well as closed-source, non-commercial applications. As parts of Cheerp are licensed under GPLv2, a copyleft license, if you distribute your application you must provide your users access to its sources under the same license.
If you are using Cheerp for developing closed-source, commercial applications you must purchase a commercial license.
