I don't really want to add fuel to the fire here, but I do want to say this... The potential for possibly "screwing over" future users of GPL-based plugins (although we're not actually preventing anyone with GPL code from distributing their plugins, we're just not offering to distribute them on their behalf) is, in my opinion, a much lesser risk than the potential of possibly screwing over everyone who has contributed code to Habari with the intent of it being BSD-type Free (not GPL-type Free), if the FSF ever decides to come after us for distributing code that arguably links only against Habari (and thus making Habari "inherit" the GPL license). I'm with the others in saying that I don't fully understand the implications of this, but the preamble of GPLv3 indicates that the so-called viral clause is still in play. This is a grey area, of course. I just prefer to be more safe than more accommodating here.
