I am analyzing SonarQube to use it for our closed source product which is mostly .Net and web technologies. Are there any caveats to using community edition for commercial projects? What is the limit on the lines of code that community edition can scan?
The Community Edition of Sonarqube is the opensource and free version of Sonarqube, and it is also usable for commercial use (click on the following link to know what Sonarqube is and what it is used for).
SonarQube was built in an “Open Core” model, which means it's an open source built by layers: each layer contains the former layer plus extra capabilities: Community (Free) Edition is the basis. Then you have Developer Edition on top of it. Then the Enterprise Edition on top of it.
SonarQube Community Edition is free. All other SonarQube editions are commercial and require a paid license. SonarCloud is entirely free for all open source projects. You only pay if you want to analyze private repositories.
