I'm switching siglines here because this seems like a job for the 
resident Community Manager. :)

Plugins play a key role in LiveCode, a role that will amplify many times 
over when v8 is released.

There are benefits to the community to have dual-licensed libraries and 
widgets, but IDE plugins are a special case worth considering.

It seems safe to say that it's in everyone's interest to have clarity on 
the use of non-GPL components within the GPL-governed LiveCode Community 
Edition, so I'll make getting clarification on this a priority in my 
next meeting with the team.
