I wonder if i can make a shiny app using some of these popular R packages such as : dtplyr, plyr, ggvis, gdata, ggplot2, etc and then selling this app online.

    No offence taken. This is not a programming question as it does not involve coding specifics, if you're asking about licensing/legality then the question is too broad (narrow it down). As it stands, it is hard to clarify what type of question this is – Isaac Jul 25 '16 at 00:03

It is only a problem of license. You should check the license for each of those packages. For example GNU GPL does not prevent you from selling your app or making a profit, but then you must make the source code available. BSD license let you do everything you want, and you are not forced to release the source code.
