That's completely missing the point, t3g. Proprietary plugins are proprietary, period, and if they are willing to give you money for these proprietary plugins, they must be extremely important. In other words, that practice is unethical; you are then using free software to trick users into using these nonfree plugins.

It would be like giving someone an OS that only works at the command-line, then offering a proper desktop environment only as a proprietary plugin. "But you can just use the free version and ignore the DE!" you say. Yeah, and you can also not use a computer at all. This is an incredibly asinine argument.
