Robert did you read the quote I sent yesterday from the horses mouth? I very 
much doubt it would be profitable for anyone to take a different position than 
LiveCode Ltd on whether a stackFile is considered a plugin and therefore 
covered by the GPL. I have to say that I myself was unsure of this point and 
the quote from Mark was in response to my questioning. If you choose take a 
different position than the company my only advice would be to take legal 
council on the matter before you go ahead and test the waters.

Cheers
