Is it legal to write open source plugins/applications for a commercial software?
I am trying to write open source plugins or applications on top of a commercial enterprise software. I would like to know if it causes any legal issues.

I’m pretty sure that it is legal. Take this open source plugin for Photoshop, for instance:

As long as the products’ license agreement doesn’t forbid such "modifications", it is legal.
If what your making is open source you can not sell it.
