>By nature, the GPL causes everything to be changed to be under the GPL license. If you have 1000 pieces of code that are licensed under MIT for example and someone puts in 1 GPL code, the entire codebase becomes copyleft whether you wanted to or not.

>Speaking of the custom plugins that are not copyleft and are included with copyleft code that is not dual licensed causes the custom plugins to now fall under the GPL. Maybe you never wanted the source code for those plugins to become free software because they were never meant to be and fit a specific purpose that the client paid for. Too late... the GPL converted them whether you like it or not and now your code can be stolen and shared.

Sorry but this is very silly. If you don't want to follow the GPL rules, nobody forces you to use GPL code! You choose.
