There is a licensing with MIT or with ESRI that we must respect? how its work if we want to sale a web site using tools from de CMV developing from many people for free? Or we just have the right to charge GIS services to the company? The MIT License (MIT)

You are certainly allowed to use/develop/sell solutions based on cmv. The license from cmv widgets/etc are all open source. That being said, cmv is written on top of the ArcGIS JS api so you are responsible for following those licensing requirements - basically what is listed here:

https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/guide/licensing/index.html

In addition, since cmv is an open source project any contributions you are able to push back into the community are very greatly appreciated.
