Each plug-in comes with a license, so as long as the license is GPL,
there are no restrictions as to where you are using the produced
images.
I could not find Chroma Key. However, for Chroma Denoise, the
license is GPL (see: http://registry.gimp.org/node/25452), so that
would be safe to use.

You would have an issue if the license had a clause Not for commercial use.
However, the GPL license does not allow such clauses, so if the
license is GPL (any version), you can use the software for commercial
work.

GIMP plugins have individual licences. What license they have can be 
seen in the GIMP Plugin Registry. Chroma Key is licensed under the 
BSD-license which means you are free to use it for commercial purposes.


I can not say for sure, but I think all official GIMP Plugins (which are 
those available at registry.gimp.org) are required to be under 
FSF-approved free software licenses, which means they can all be used 
commercially.

Who defined those as official? Anyone can upload stuff there - or could,
as the spammer problem has never been resolved, so it is now limited to
the already existing users.

Drupal - at least the version used there - doesn't make the fight
against spam an easy task, unfortunately. The fact that we don't control
the server ourselves limits our actions.


 are required to be under FSF-approved free software licenses, which

I don't think that a review of that has been done. A quick check found
one plug-in under a NC license: http://registry.gimp.org/node/28271
